PARAMITA, directed by Re-Take Oakland filmmaker Kirthi Nath is having its Oakland premiere on June 12!
Opening Doorways for Belonging and Liberation is a special community event featuring the film PARAMITA and a healing workshop that invites us to slow down and explore what it means to belong — to ourselves, each other, and the natural world.
The evening weaves together meditation, sacred reflection, community care circles, rituals and a screening of PARAMITA, a poetic documentary that bears witness to Prajna Choudhury’s 25-year coming out journey with her traditional Bangladeshi mother and her connection to Buddhist practices and nature as gateways for acceptance and intergenerational healing.
PARAMITA has screened internationally at more than 35 film festivals, and we are thrilled to celebrate its hometown Oakland premiere and companion healing workshop at the Oakland Asian Cultural Center. Local filmmaker and meditation teacher Kirthi Nath will be present to facilitate the film screening and healing workshop.
