On Sundays and Thursdays during September PFA presents a series of Indian films, important works spanning three decades andcoming from five regions of India. While many of the films focus on women's experience, on Sundays in particular wehave programmed films by women directors, to be appreciated in conjunction with the BAM's MATRIX exhibition BauaDevi and the Art of Mithila, on view in Gallery 1, and described on page 2. The film series was created for India: A Celebration!, on view at the Asian Art Museum from June 28 to September 28, 1997. Malti Sahai, Director of Film Festivals, India; Wimal Dissanayake, Chinese University, Hong Kong; and Aislinn Scofield, Asian Art Museum of San Francisco developed the series. Except as noted, prints are courtesy of the Directorate of Film Festivals with support from C. R. Balachandra, Consul General of India, San Francisco. PLAYDATE: Thursday September 11 ,1997
