Shekhar Kapur in Big D

For all those who keep complaining ... "there's no culture in Dallas" ... "Dallas is so boring, yaar" ... "Dallas has such an uninspiring arts scene" ... and other such useless rants ... I have some news for you.

1) Come to the Angelika Film Center in Plano (Yes I said Plano) and meet Shekhar Kapur on Aug 26th. Yes I said Shekhar Kapur - the director of such films as Masoom, Mr. India, Bandit Queen (huge winner on the Festival Circuit) and of course the Oscar nominated Elizabeth. He will be in town for JUST ONE NIGHT - so come on by and meet him - interact with him - watch his last film (The Four Feathers) WITH him and ask him any question you'd like ...

2) In september we are working with the ASHA folks to screen two very special films ... Bariwali and Kandukondain Kandukondain.

3) And the 3rd Annual Dallas South Asian Film Festival shows up from Nov 19-21 - and we've got some really good content this year. Some very timely films which you can not miss - including Amol Palekar's latest directorial venture which is called "Anahaat".

So stop ranting about the bogus arts scene in Dallas and show up to these events. Ranting and complaining don't do jack.

See ya next thursday night ...
