In its 10th year, the MIAAC Film Festival presents an array of smaller, lesser-known films from India or about India, with only one mainstream biggie – Mani Ratnam’s Raavanan – snuck into the program. The films range from American-produced Indies, international co-productions, documentaries, classic gems and films in Bengali, Tamil, Konkani, Marathi, Manipuri and Urdu. According to Aroon Shivdasani, Executive Director of the Indo-American Arts Council (IAAC), the festival “is truly a celebration of Indian film in all its avatars,” adding that the event “epitomizes our mission to showcase, celebrate, and build an awareness of Indian artists in North America.”
