Description
AN EVENING OF SIGHT - EXCLUSIVE PRE-RELEASE SCREENING OF HIGHWAY TO DHAMPUS IN SUPPORT OF SEVA CANADACome join us on April 22nd for a very special screening of Highway to Dhampus in support of SEVA Canada. Highlighting both the work of Seva Canada and bringing an exclusive pre-release screening of Highway to Dhampus to Vancouver audiences, An Evening of Sight is much than just a movie night. You'll also have the chance to connect in person with the filmmaker as well as representatives from Seva Canada, and come away from the evening with practical ideas how you, personally, can make a positive difference. Seva Canada’s groundbreaking blindness prevention work began in the Himalayas, and is a perfect tie-in to Highway to Dhampus, with the film's lush cinematography set almost entirely in the stunning Annapurna Mountains of Nepal. Following the story of a rich British socialite attempting to fix her image by volunteering at a remote Nepalese orphanage, Highway to Dhampus raises questions about personal motives, international philanthropy, and the impacts of disparate worlds and cultures as they come into contact. Highway to Dhampus is an elegant, emotionally rich exploration of the challenges and rewards in facing our deepest fears, coming to terms with our preconceptions of others, and the conflicts that arise when we’re placed in a world we don’t fully understand. These ideas will be explored further after the film with the director Rick McFarland, executive producer, Kathy McFarland and the Executive Director of Seva Canada, Penny Lyons, joining us in person for the conversation.
