Victoria, BC, February 7, 2011...The Great Night of Shiva is a breathtakingly beautiful documentary that juxtaposes ancient dance mythology against NASA cosmology to tell the story of the annual, night-long celebration of the Hindu deity, Shiva the Destroyer. The world premier broadcast is on February 23, 2011, at 7 PM local Pacific Time (10 PM ET), onVisionTV.
Who is Shiva? On his ‘Great Night’, why is this Lord of the Cosmic Dance, given such love, exultation and honour? The answers lie in the stars. On that night in mid-February, according to Hindi mystics, yogis and priests, the galaxies align to form a cosmic pathway of energy.
“Directing The Great Night of Shiva was an opportunity to explore the world's oldest and most complex organized religion”, says director/cinematographer, Peter Campbell. The film, produced by Hilary Pryor and Peter Campbell, and written by Brian Paisley, details devotees at a Vancouver Temple, as they engage in Mahashivratri celebrating the myth: ‘How Lord Shiva Became Known as The One with Blue Throat’. Celebrants gather for 24 hours to seek reassurance from their most destructive god that universal good will prevail and life will be reborn.
Intimate sequences of the priest’s rituals and devotee worship are woven together by an exquisite traditional Bharata Natyam dance, choreographed by Jai Govinda, well-renowned for his expertise in this centuries-old genre. Govinda guides dancer, Kiruthika Rathanaswami, through sinuous moves and an emotional palette to conjure the story – its beauty and power further heightened by the filmmaker’s use of special effects.
“To be able to recreate ancient Shiva mythology with one of the best dancers and choreographers in Canada, using the visual magic of green-screen technology and imagery from the Hubble telescope, was my idea of cinema heaven", Campbell says. This combination of technology meeting ancient mythology gives a fresh perspective to the story of how Shiva saved heaven and earth from total annihilation.
This year’s Maha Shivarati celebration falls on March 3, 2011.

We can't blame Peter Campbell for his ignorance of what kind of dance the Lord of the Cosmic Dance, Nataraja, actually dances: the dance based on 108 karanas (such as http://bit.ly/fSZzLj ) seen, for example, in Chidambaram temple. Ironically, none of these are to be found in the "traditional Bharatnatyam dance featuring dancer Kiruthika Rathanaswami".
