Vancouver: Festival goes beyond Bollywood: Organizers want mainstream audiences to dig South Asian filmmaking
Actors Agam Darshi and Patricia Isaac want to broaden the mainstream view of South Asian film artists, and they’re putting their own money behind that aim.
The pair, who became friends on film sets over the years, spent the past two years working to establish the one-day Vancouver International South Asian Film Festival.
“It’s finally coming together,” Darshi says. “Because it was our first year, and the economy being the way it is, we didn’t get any monetary sponsors, but we got some in-kind sponsors. Patricia and I are putting this on out of our own pockets because we believe the city needs something like this.”
