Reacting to:3rd I South Asian Film Festival
The 3rd I film festival in San Francisco manages to be so Indo-centric that it merits comment. This is some 2001 shit right here: by my count, even including films set in the diaspora, there is only one film on a non Indian or Indian diasporic topic (a film on Chittagong). Given the extensive list of corporate sponsors, one would think they could afford to spend the money to find a film on some aspect of Pakistan or the Maldives ;)
I thought we had moved a little? If you're inclined to write to encourage more diversity within South Asian efforts in the diaspora or in South Asia, you can e-mail 3rd I here. I encourage it.
