Museum of the Moving Image and The India Center Foundation are launching India Kaleidoscope. an exciting new festival that will present film lovers with a chance to immerse themselves in the unique sights and sounds that make up the Indian regional, independent film landscape. These films, which delve into the most relevant and pressing topics facing the subcontinent, are being made by today’s most progressive filmmakers working in regional languages such as Marathi, Malayalam, Kannada, Tamil, and Bengali. Their films are insightful, topical, and provocative, bringing to light the dynamism and the challenges that face modern India and her many diverse communities.
India Kaleidoscope will exclusively feature New York premieres, and present films and discussions with filmmakers whose perspectives give us new ways to consider the cinema of the world’s most populous democracy.
The festival welcomes regular visitors to the Museum as well as new audiences seeking connections and insights to the rich and varied regions of India. All films will be shown with English subtitles.
This highly curated festival will be at once intimate and spectacular, taking full advantage of the grandeur of the Museum’s strikingly modern architecture and setting in one of New York’s most diverse and vibrant neighborhoods.
