All know that India is the biggest movie producer in the world; every year this festival brings to the city a great quality of films.  Last year we had the presentation of the films of two great women filmmakers: Mira Nair’s “The Reluctant Fundamentalist” and Deepa Metha’s “Midnight’s Children”.

This year the opening night film is “SOLD” produced by Academy Award Winner Emma Thomson. The story is about a little girl from Nepal sold into prostitution. A must see!

“Before my Eyes,” “Ugly,” “The Auction House,” “Hank and Asha,” “Writers,” “Shepherds of Paradise,” and “Brahmin” are among the feature films the festival will present.
