Ahead of Saturday’s screening of the award-winning documentary film One Track Heart: The Story of Krishna Das, we caught up with Max Harvey from Candlelight Cinema on why they chose to bring this film to triyoga Cinema.
1) how did you come across One Track Heart?
We came across One Track Heart (OTH) as we [produce] documentaries on subjects that touch on the same [as those] that are explored in OTH – being mainly human consciousness, exploring it, coming to a greater and fuller understanding of it and evolving through deeper awareness of it.
2) why do you think they thought this was an important story to tell?
Our opinion on why the filmmakers chose this story as an example is that Krishna Das has spanned the generations from his youth to now with the same reasons and intention – the same fundamental life questions as those that we all ponder and can relate to. [Krishna] has had a huge arc [in his] career path too (especially from being a part of the music industry), and seems to have come full circle – coming to ‘realisation’ and full understanding through crisis points in his life that he could not have seen while experiencing them. He lost himself in music through chanting mantras and by doing so, he plugged into his ‘source’, and he got out of his own way.
3) why do you feel it’s an important film for people to see?
We all benefit from that state [plugging into our ‘source’], and it can be healing and transformational in its many forms. The essence of the story is relatable to by all.
