The longest-running, most prestigious Indian film festival in the country, the Mahindra Indo American Arts Council (MIAAC) Film Festival, rolls out the red carpets from Nov. 10th - 14th to welcome filmmakers, cast and crew, and industry heavyweights from all over the world to the independent cinema capital of the country – New York City. While the features, shorts, and documentaries are the main focus, sharing some of the festival's spotlight are the sidebar festival “Bhumika: The Roles of Smita Patil” at Lincoln Center along with FILMINDIA—a series of panel discussions about film production in India, and the daily after-parties at glamorous venues all over the city.

Venue_writeup_open_quotes The festival opens with a screening of Noise (Shor) the feature film version of the winner of MIAAC 2008’s Best Short Film Award— a gritty, funny composite portrait of Mumbai from the Detroit and Mumbai based director-duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK. Thursday catch Nandana Sen in Autograph, a film inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s Wild Strawberries and Satyajit Ray’s Nayak. Friday we come out for Ashes Ajay Naidu's directorial debut. Naidu, the actor we know and love from his roles in Suburbia, Office Space (Samir Nagheenanajar) and "Bored to Death" presents a story of two brothers living in the inner city, one suffering from a manic depressive schizoid disorder, the other with his sights on becoming a wealthy drug dealer. Shot in New York, and co-starring Heather Burns and Piper Perabo, this film brings us a true New York story. Venue_writeup_close_quotes
