Today’s the day when the Indo-American Arts Council‘s 13th New York Indian Film Festival opens.

The yearly event, which has grown from strength to strength, looks to have a really interesting and diverse line-up of Indian and Indian-American stories.

Here’s a trailer for the festival.

Some films that I’ve already got my eye on are Fireflies, Aakashathinte Niram (Color of Sky) and Baavra Mann, and I’m looking forward to many other delights and surprises.

The festival launches tonight with Dekh Tamasha Dekh and closes on Saturday, May 4th with Filmistaan.
