The New York Indian Film Festival is the world’s oldest and most prestigious movie series dedicated to feature, documentary and short films made in — or simply about — the Indian subcontinent. Organized over five days, the extravaganza features screenings, post-screening discussions, industry panels, nightly networking parties, red carpet galas, media attention and packed audiences.
