SAWCC

At the SAWCC office getting ready for #Symposium! Join us tomorrow SAWCC.org/symposium2016 (at Asian American Writers' Workshop)

The 13th Annual South Asian International Film Festival will take place from November 30-December 4, 2016. Saiff.org The South Asian International Film Festival (#SAIFF) is the largest film premiere destination for South #Asian/Indian filmmakers in the United States. SAIFF was founded in New York City due to the lack of support for many emerging #filmmakers and the overall underrepresentation of Indian cinema in a capital that is recognized by the world as the birthplace of independent filmmaking! The Festival is committed to exhibiting films from South Asia (i.e India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal) and within the Indian Diaspora. With a focus on dynamic, visionary cinema, SAIFF annually creates unprecedented exposure for filmmakers and unparalleled experiences for its attendees. (at Village East Cinema)
