Inclusion and diversity are the key
elements for the success of the Indian Festival, women directors like Deepa
Mehta's gangster drama “Beeba Boys” is among the festival favorites.
We only hope for the future that the IFFLA will continue growing by adding more shows in order to don’t overlap such a good films at once
by programming a second screening at different date and time.

This is the best function room in the city. The food they served at San Francisco venues was warm, fresh and tasty, and the panoramic window is a sight to behold on a clear day. Their main hall was similar to a club/lounge – however, it had more of an intimate feel.
