NYC PREVIEW OF MONUMENTAL FILM - FIRST TO INVESTIGATE THE HUMAN PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF DEATH ANXIETY

New York City - On Saturday, November 23rd the Soho Salon will host two sneak preview screenings of Flight from Death: The Quest for Immortality, a 90-minute documentary film about the human psychological effects of death anxiety, or fear of death. This film explores the manifestations of death anxiety on a spiritual, cultural, and psychological level. Screening times are 4:30pm and 8:00pm.

Filmmakers, Patrick Shen (Director/Producer) and Greg Bennick (Co-producer/co-writer) will attend these highly anticipated screenings and take questions from the audience. Flight from Death is due to be released worldwide sometime in 2003 but is being screened throughout the remainder of this year at various locations throughout the U.S. for media, the film crew, and others involved or those who appear in the film. Any open seats are being made available to the public but are filling up quickly. Those interested in attending should email info@flightfromdeath.com to reserve seats.

Flight from Death is the culmination of many years of research and shooting all over the world in locations such as Egypt, Israel, Guyana, Greece, China, and Canada. It features interviews with leading scholars, philosophers, and authors such as Robert Jay Lifton, Irvin Yalom, and Sam Keen culminating in the most comprehensive, multidisciplinary, and mind-blowing investigation of humankind’s relationship with death ever captured on film. For directions and more information about the NY screening contact the Soho Salon at (212) 334-5410 or (917) 549-8969 or email cgracia@sohosalon.org.
