SUMMARY:Paramita movie screening
DESCRIPTION:The short film Paramita has been selected to show at the Mill Valley Film Festival! Paramita is a short film by fellow practitioner Kirthi Nath about OI member Prajna Paramita Choudhury‘s coming out journey\, intergenerational healing\, and the transformational power of mindfulness practice. \n\n\n\nPracticing in the Plum Village tradition is a big part of this film\, and it would be wonderful if folks from our practice community could make it out for the Bay Area premiere.  \n\n\n\nIt will be part of the Freedom Shorts program on Saturday\, October 5 at 3:00 pm and Wednesday\, October 9 at 3:30 pm in San Rafael.  \n\n\n\nTickets go on sale to the general public on September 18 @ 4 pm\, and they may sell out.  \n\n\n\nIf you can’t make it to the Bay Area premiere*\, we hope there will be other opportunities in the future\, but likely not until next year. If you know about a film festival\, event\, conference\, school or community organization that may want to screen Paramita\, please contact paramitafilmdirector@gmail.com. Screening updates will be posted on the film website\, https://www.paramitafilm.com. You can sign up to receive updates and can also support the film – it takes a lot to make a film\, and then to get it out into the world!  Thanks in advance. \n\n\n\nHope to see you there\,  \n\n\n\nPrajna \n\n\n\n*There will be a New York City premiere in September!
