Akasha Metaphysical Film Festival Brings Cutting-Edge Films to Carmel, California

Santa Cruz, CA, March 15, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Akasha Entertainment announces the arrival of the Akasha Metaphysical Film Festival to the Monterey Peninsula. The festival will take place June 24th through June 26th, 2011 at the Sunset Community Center in Carmel, California. Tickets are $15 for single films, $55 for five-film packages, and $355 for an all-festival pass that includes VIP parties and a "meet and greet" with their Hollywood celebrities in attendance.

The festival presents dynamic films with spiritual and supernatural themes from ghosts and out of body experiences to UFO encounters and artificial intelligence.

The festival is slated to screen a variety of dramatic features, documentaries, shorts, and animated films from around the globe. Vibrant music, cultural performances and fantastic parties are mixed with panel discussions with Hollywood insiders, metaphysical speakers, and film-making workshops. The lineup of speakers will be announced on May 5, 2011.

This is the second film festival produced by Akasha Entertainment. In 2008, the Santa Fe Metaphysical Film Festival awarded a lifetime achievement award to actress Shirley MacLaine. The festival also featured Native American dancers, East Indian music, singing bowls, ethereal singing, and a rock band. "The Big Question," featuring Deepak Chopra, won best documentary.

"Our festival celebrates the transformational potential of film,” said festival director and Carmel resident Carolyn Cobelo. "Festival-goers will be in for a real treat as we present quality, cutting-edge films that deal with supernatural and paranormal phenomena, extraterrestrials, as well as transcendence, culture, and indigenous beliefs. These creative films have the power to take us beyond our ordinary senses into a world where fantasy, science, and reality can merge, acting as catalysts to open us up to compassion and insight."
