SUMMARY:Triple Play | 3 Films on Kashmir w/ Filmmaker Sarah Singh
DESCRIPTION:TRIPLE PLAY: Three films on Kashmir\nFilm Screening and Panel Discussion on Kashmir \nAward-winning filmmaker and New School alumna Sarah Singh \nPanel – Mohamed Junaid and Prof. Nitin Sawhney in conversation with Sarah Singh \n 5:45pm-7pm | Theresa Lang Community Center (55 W 13th St\, NY) \n\nAll three films are approximately 10 min each. \n\nThe Sky Below (segment from her award-winning documentary)\nA Million Rivers (segment from her new surrealist fiction work)\nSufiyana: Music of the 21st Century (segment from a new film in progress)\n\nThese three completely different film works offers a rare opportunity to construct a cubistic portrait of a people\, land\, culture\, history\, and future\, thereby expanding the narrative portrayal regarding one of the most disturbing and dangerous regional issues of our time. Kashmir is at the forefront of global politics\, like a stick of dynamite between two nuclear nations. The region has been called a ‘frozen conflict’ in which many thousands of lives have been destroyed by a deadly cocktail of internal and external players over decades. \nWhat are the possible outcomes or ways forward in what appears to be an increasingly hostile and desperate clash where ramifications echo across the world\, and importantly\, resonate immediately across Central\, South\, and East Asia? \nThe event is co-sponsored by The India China Institute\, the School of Media Studies and the Engage Media Lab at The New School. \nEvent on Facebook. \nAbout the Filmmaker \nSarah Singh was born in Patiala\, Punjab\, India and moved to the US in 1974. She is an award-winning filmArtist and has completed two feature-length films\, several short film works\, and is in the development of a third feature film. Sarah has worked in the film and TV industry for over a decade. Prior to that she exhibited paintings\, drawings and photography. Starting from her first solo show in 1996 at the Prithvi Gallery in Juhu\, Bombay\, her work has been privately collected. She is on the Board of Advisors for Sindhi Voices Project and The Journal for Ethnic and Migration Studies. \nYou can learn more about Singh’s work on her website. You can follow Sarah on @sarahsinghNY. \nThe Sky Below  is a critically-acclaimed doc on the 1947 Partition of the Subcontinent and the Kashmir question. \nA Million Rivers recently had its’ world premiere at the V&A Museum and will premiere in New York later this Fall. This is an opportunity to get a sneak preview of one of the main thematic aspects of this work. The film starts Om Puri\, Lillete Dubey and Asif Basra as “the man from Kashmir”. \nMusic For the 21st Century is a new film series devoted to exploring music traditions and practices across the Subcontinent. This segment showcases a memorial concert for the world’s last known Kashmir Sufiyana master\, Ghulam Mohammed Saznawaz. \n

SUMMARY:“The Desert Eats Us” film screening w/ Kesang Tseten
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 19th 5-6:30pm\n\n\n\nA Screening of “The Desert Eats Us”\n\n\n\n\n(New Location) 66 W. 12th St.\, 4th Fl.\, Room 404\n\n\n\n\nPresented by Kesang Tseten\, award-winning filmmaker and writer from Nepal\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe earnings of Nepali labour sustain one out of every three households of Nepal’s 28 million; remittances prop up the country\, but at a high cost. The film provides a rare glimpse of the migrant workers’ experience in Qatar\, site of the 2022 World Cup\, where Nepalis outnumber natives several times over. While poverty compels them  to go\, it doesn’t justify their treatment. The struggle to endure long working hours\, the stultifying heat\, the burden of loans and high expectations back home is the lot of the migrant\, confronted by overwhelming upheaval and fractures. \n\n\n\nDiscussants:  – Adriana Young\, ICI Fellow  – Luna Ranjit\, Executive Director of Adhikaar \n\n\n\nSponsored by the India China Institute (ICI) at The New School\, Adhikaar\, and the Zolberg Center on Global Migration (formerly the International Center for Migration\, Ethnicity\, and Citizenship). \n\n\n\nThis event is free\, but seating is limited and reservations are required by emailing your name and confirmation of attendance to indiachina@newschool.edu \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Desert Eats Us from ShunyataFilms on Vimeo.
