journey of Shahid Azmi, a human rights activist and lawyer who was killed in 2010. The festival will close with the presentation of The
Reluctant Fundamentalist, starring Riz Ahmed and Kate Hudson. The film, directed by Mira Nair and winner of the IFFI Century Award,
tells the story of a Pakistani man whose American Dream is threatened by post 9/11 reactions to al-Qaida attacks.
Also included in the lineup is Club 60, Sanjay Tripathy’s directorial debut in Bollywood. Featuring acclaimed actors Farooq Sheikh, Sarika,
Satish Shah, and Tinnu Anand, the film offers a glimpse into the lives of young at heart 60-year-olds. “We all are still young at heart. It’s all
about how you live your life,” said Sheikh during a photo shoot for the film. Farah Goes Bang,Touring Talkies, Pied Piper, Chor Chor Super

snow-balled into a multi-million dollar industry. It’s a startling scenario and the film presents the multiple facets without being
judgmental,” said director Geetika Narang Abbasi in a previous statement. The Other Army, directed by Sana Attiq Haq, focuses on the
stories of three Pakistanis who sacrificed their lives in the fight against terrorism.

The release of Dadasaheb Phalke’s silent film Raja Harishchandra in 1913 set in mo9on a cultural force that would take Indian society by storm. Film became the medium that unified regions, cap9vated audiences, and brought the world to the Indian household. And today it remains a cultural stalwart that embraces tradi9on, innova9on, and, of course, song and dance. One hundred years later, Bollywood has reached a cri9cal milestone as one of the most recognizable industries in the world. Its community of filmmakers and actors has not only seduced filmgoers across borders, but has transcended into an interna9onal legion of respected ar9sts. Amitabh Bhachchan, A.R. Rahman, Irfan Khan, and Aishwarya Rai as household names amongst worldwide audiences have become testaments to the strength and reach of Bollywood.
Since its incep9on, the Chicago South Asian Film Fes9val has played a significant role in expanding this influence in the West. Over the past three years, the Fes9val has premiered some of the foremost films, from and by South Asians, giving emerging filmmakers and ar9sts a plaPorm to showcase their works to the world. Actress Priyanka Bose, whose film Oass will premiere at this year’s fes9val taking place September 20-­‐22nd, is par9cularly excited about the posi9on of Indian film the global market. “It is so refreshing to get a wider audience from all over the world to take interest in our films.”
Previous years have brought acclaimed ar9sts including Shabana Azmi, Raveena Tandon, Farooq Sheikh, Lilete Dubey, Adil Hussain, Nandana Sen, Sandeep Sharma, Deep9 Naval and Geeta Malik to the largest South Asian fes9val in the Midwest. Many of these ar9sts have dedicated their art to the advancement of Indian cinema at home and abroad and have supported the fes9val as a catalyst for the South Asian voice. This year’s festival’s lineup of more than 24 films includes the U.S. premiere of Oass by director Abhinav Shiv Tiwari, Club 60 by director
Sanjay Tripathy, and The Reluctant Fundamentalist starring Kate Hudson, Liev Schreiber, Riz Ahmed, and Shabana Azmi.
Artists set to hit the red carpet during the opening night reception this Friday include Bose, Farooq Sheikh, Ami Bhogani, Trupti Bhoir,
Sanjay Tripathy and Parvesh Cheena of Outsourced fame. The weekend will host a number of panels and Q&A sessions with filmmakers.
“Indian cinema has such a rich heritage and has touched so many hearts for so many years,” says Bose. “With a lot of importance given
to tighter screenplays, I can safely say that we are at the league of spectacular talent worldwide.”
Major sponsors include Comcast, Columbia College Chicago and Saavn.
