| A film festival by India |
| |
| The G5A Film Society will present the New York Indian Film Festival (2016) India Chapter, screening five features, four documentaries and four shorts. Post an inaugural function today, the festival will open with the Marathi film Highway Ek Selfie AarPar (Best Film - NYIFF 2016). Directed by Umesh Vinayak Kulkarni, the 175-minute film explores the now converging, now encroaching journeys of an assortment of people from varied backgrounds and how life, as we do not know it, unfolds. Barring the first week where the films will be screened on Tuesday and Wednesday, the rest of the festival will include screenings every Tuesday and Thursday till July 21. |

| "There are many Indian film festivals on foreign soil, and this is a great opportunity for our films and filmmakers, where they find a diaspora audience as well as business opportunities and the filmmakers and the cast and crew are able to directly connect with them there. The idea to host the India Chapter of NYIFF 2016 was to create a networking ground for such diaspora festivals and their alumni and upcoming filmmakers - for them to understand the scope such festivals hold for them and their film," says Anuradha Parikh, founder, G5A. |
