The Florida Dharma Film Festival

The Chenrezig Project of Central Florida, in partnership with Lake Eustis Institute, is pleased to present the Florida Dharma Film Festival (FLharma), consisting of films and discussion encouraging peace and compassion.

The festival will air at the Lake Eustis Institute, a life-long learning center that encourages creative thought in arts, culture, humanities and science in downtown Eustis, less than an hour away from Orlando. The Florida Dharma Film Festival is a precious new showcase, providing Florida audiences with opportunities to discover films that communicate and share the beauty of Tibetan Buddhist culture and spirituality, as well as the Dalai Lama's significant influence on humanity.
