Bombay Summer Sweeps MIAAC Film Festival
|
MIACC Film Festival concluded at the Lincoln Center last night with a perfect Bollywood ending.
With tons of Desi and ABCD entries with a Bengali infusion, the break out movie of the festival was a little known film that swept the awards - three! - including Best Actress for Tannishtha Chatterjee and Best Director for Joseph Mathew-Varghese (shown above). The film, Bombay Summer, about conflicting needs of family and life in modern India, had only one screening, and that in a tiny, matchbox theatre on the Upper West Side, but the unknown flick beat out top-shelf movies by heavy-hitters such as Anurag Kashyap, Priyadarshan, Shyam Benegal and Dipti Naval. An utter shock! Even the director himself was surprised!

The Sikh youth of the New York tri-state area would like to invite you to Lahir NY: Move the Movement 2009. The purpose of Lahir 2009 is to commemorate the Sikh Holocaust of 1984 and the violations of human rights that follow. We aim to inspire, educate, and awaken the masses through our community's talent-encouraging Sikh artists to express themselves through music, art, poetry and other non-conventional ways. We hope to move the movement through the solidarity of our youth and the support of our people.
