who has subtitled over 200 Indian films into English over the last 5 years. This unique festival shares her dream of bringing Indian cinema to a new audience. The cinema of South Asia has been painfully underrepresented in the West for too long, and the clichés and stereotypes associated with mainstream ‘Bollywood’ are in need of being drastically reconsidered.Since theatrical release, none of theses films have been publicly released with English subtitles anywhere on Earth, so don’t miss any of them! The vibrant selection has something for everyone, wether it be quirky black comedies, romantic musicals or hard-hitting realism, but they all have one thing in common; exhibiting an exciting new-wave of intelligent and meaningful cinema from India’s Southern states. Some screenings will be followed by Skype Q&As with cast and crew.
