Mira Nair’s Take on Modern Indian Cinema

Bhubaneswar-raised, New York City-based visionary filmmaker and activist Mira Nair, a force in both Indian and American cinema since the rapturous reception of her 1988 Salaam Bombay!, presents a hand-picked program of contemporary films from the subcontinent that show the diversity of Indian films beyond the realm of studio spectacle.

“These films show us the India we live in but rarely ever truly see. Cinema is a tricky craft; you start with a dream, but the road to make (art) is so long, do you end with one? These films capture the brutality and tenderness of the dream to the max.“ —Mira Nair
