Hello Filmlovers,
In 2007, the Asian American Film and Theater Project brought to us the New Jersey Independent South Asian Cine Fest, the first and the only of its kind film festival in New Jersey. This was an effort to promote the works of talented South Asian filmmakers from all over the world, and a celebration of the creativity of South Asians. The first film festival was an overwhelming success, and this year we are back for more. This year, the NJISACF will be held on 22nd – 24th August 2008, and we hope to bring to you many more thought-provoking and entertaining films. In an effort to keep our audience updated on the South Asian films, we are launching “Bioscope”, our monthly newsletter. Every month, we will bring to you news about South Asian indie films from all over the world – films in which the filmmaker’s personal creative vision is maintained. We will profile independent filmmakers – those fearless and talented individuals, who have attempted to voice their concerns and their view of the world. And of course, we will provide you with the updates of NJISACF, 2008. Our inaugural year would not have been such a grand success without your participation. That is why, we want to keep you updated with the developments at every step – because we are a team, and together, we will make this cine fest a part of the cultural heritage of New Jersey.
