What a perfect trip to NYC! The film, A Thin Wall, looked and sounded beautiful when screened at Village East Cinema. It was part of the New York Indian Film Festival (NYIFF) which was extremely well attended and wonderfully organized. The screening was followed by a well moderated and energetic Q&A.
But best of all, I got to spend time with fabulous family and friends. Thank u so much for making this a glorious 1 1/2 days in NY (in order of meeting): my cuz Aliya Aslam who was my partner in crime this whole trip, my gorgeous friend Janet Isralsky and her artist son Brandon, Surbhi’s friend Srishti Sethi who’s studied immigration patterns resulting from the partition and was a joy to meet, my brother Shamoun who fit me in between business meetings and made sure to see me, the brilliant and v engaging Saadia Toor whose work I refer people to all the time and whom I felt I had known forever.
All in all, outstanding!
