BRATTLEBORO-The Latchis Theatre will host the filmWisdom of Happiness, a cinematic documentary featuring the Dalai Lama, for a week beginning Friday, March 20.
On Saturday, March 21, the film will be shown at 7 p.m., followed by a post-screening discussion on compassion, awareness, and ethical action with John DiLeva Halpern, artist, filmmaker, meditation teacher, and cultural activist.
Now 90 years old, the Dalai Lama speaks directly to viewers in Wisdom of Happiness and offers practical advice for navigating the 21st century’s challenges.
“In what is likely to be the Dalai Lama’s last appearance in a film,” wrote event promoters in a news release, the “extraordinary collaboration” between writer-directors Barbara Miller and Philip Delaquis, cinematographer Manuel Bauer, and executive producers Oren Moverman and Richard Gere “creates a remarkable and timely offering to viewers.”
Tickets are $15 for the March 21 film and discussion. Regular Latchis Theatre admission — $10 general, $8 for students, seniors, and all matinees — applies for all other screenings.
