“NYIFF is known around the world for its top-notch, out-of-the-box programming, and this year is no different..
The New York audience is sophisticated, well-traveled, educated and discerning; as such, our content reflects what we think will resonate with the cinephiles of this cosmopolitan city and will keep them coming back for more.” – Aroon Shivdasani, Founder-Executive & Artistic Director, IAAC.
“We had to make some tough choices but I’m thrilled with our selections representing new independent Indian and South Asian cinema, as well works from the South Asian Diaspora” – Aseem Chhabra, NYIFF Director
