The South Asian International Film Festival is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3)
organization dedicated to supporting established and emerging artists
from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. With a focus
on dynamic, visionary independent cinema, SAIFF aims to bring communities
together to support these artists and unite in celebration of a common
spirit.
We're proud to announce the return of the third annual South Asian
International Film Festival, a groundbreaking cinematic and entertainment
extravaganza in Manhattan. This year, SAIFF 2006 will be held
from October 4 through October 8, 2006 in New York City.
With several screening locations, a team of high-profile sponsors,
and a slate of top-notch films, the festival will give audiences of
all ages and ethnicities the chance to discover new South Asian voices
and celebrate established ones.
Kicking off with a feature film premiere and opening night gala, the
five-day event will present a select combination of full-length films,
shorts, and documentaries in a variety of genres. In addition to a
retrospective honoring an internationally renowned filmmaker, the
Festival will attract new films from the entire South Asian continent
(i.e. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka) and the South
Asian Diaspora. Hosted by influential young and established South
Asians, the festival will mix in dynamic entertainment, cutting-edge
nightlife, and exclusive social events with its slate of high-quality
film programming.
