Films from the Indian Diaspora
This
stunning annual showcase focuses on films made by, about, or featuring
persons of Indian origin. Some of this year’s selections cling to
tradition, while others set out bravely to make their own. And all provide

culture.
Presented in collaboration with the Indo-American Arts
Council.
