This precocious spectacle presents South Asia’s most radical crucial and underrepresented voices. The festival features a mélange of avant-garde documentaries mindboggling shorts and a dynamic selection of feature films that evince exuberance resilience and imperium of the South Asian cinema. NJISACF 2010 through its dynamic ensemble of movies wants to bring to the fore a new perspective about South Asian women in cinema who are breaking free from the shambles of culture religion and sexuality these women are challenging common perceptions and converging towards an affirmation of identity and rights. Quote : Sakti Sengupta Director NJISACF : “There exists a body of recent films by women filmmakers and screenwriters working in the UK Canada and the US and representing South Asian communities and subjectivity in the West. It is a culturally hybrid cinema which actively locates itself between Hollywood and Bollywood. The diasporic South Asians are not merely assimilating to their host cultures but they are also actively reshaping them through their own new voices bringing new definitions of identity.” This year NJISACF 2010 brings a cinematic extravaganza from nine women filmmakers with 16 features shorts and docs from seven countries on October 29 and 30 at Big Cinemas 1655 OAK TREE ROAD Edison New Jersey . For more information visit: www.NJISACF.org . On Friday October 29 the festival opens with the New Jersey premiere of the new yet-to-be-released film “Mirch” a masterwork and collage of four short stories about women’s empowerment and rights and gender equality starring Indian heartthrobs Konkona Sen Sharma and Raima Sen . Come join us also on Saturday October 30 as we showcase the New Jersey premiere of yet another unreleased film “Life Goes On” starring Sharmila Tagore Satyajit Ray’s much-celebrated heroine from the Apu Trilogy East Coast premiere of “Cooking with Stella” co-scripted by the Oscar-nominated for her film “Water” Canadian woman filmmaker Deepa Mehta and “Yasmin” where Archie Panjabi Emmy Award winning actress from the primetime series The Good Wife shows what it’s like being a Muslim and an Asian woman in a post 9/11 world and documentaries like “Beyond Women’s Stereotypes” featuring Booker Prize winning author of GODS OF SMALLL THINGS Arundhati Roy “Dishonored” the heart-rending story of the gang-raped Pakistani woman Mukhtar Mai she won the Woman of the Year Glamour magazine award in 2005 . Where thought leaders filmmakers film personalities and scholars meet exchange of ground breaking discussions ensue. NJISACF 2010 will host two panel discussions Changing Representations of Women in South Asian Cinema and South Asian Women reshaping their identity: A discussion on South Asian diasporic women filmmakers along with Q A sessions after each film screening. Women filmmakers and especially South Asian women filmmakers from South Asia and the South Asian Diaspora are one of the most under-represented in the history of cinema at film festivals and at all other exhibition venues. Women’s film festivals are only about 2 of more than 5 000 film festivals held in North America.
