Description: |
PATANG (Prashant Bhargava/2011/USA/93 minutes)
A poetic journey to the old city of Ahmedabad, PATANG weaves together the stories of six people transformed by the energy of India's largest kite festival.
Every year a million kites fill the skies above Ahmedabad dueling, soaring, tumbling and flying high. When a successful Delhi businessman takes his daughter on a surprise trip back to his childhood home for the festival, an entire family has to confront its own fractured past and fragile dreams.
Music and fireworks, food and laughter, a kaleidoscope of color and light, the magic of the kite flying high, a traditional recipe of healing and renewal.
With naturalistic performances from actors and non-actors alike, bold, lyrical editing, vibrant cinematography and a kinetic score, Patang delights the senses and nourishes the spirit
SANGAM (Prashant Bhargava/2004/USA/28 minutes)
Two South Asian men on a subway share their nostalgia, loneliness, hopes and despair about life in America.
The Charles B. Wang Center is dedicated to presenting the public with a multifaceted, intellectually sound, and humane understanding of Asian and Asian American cultures and their relationship to other cultures. The Wang Center houses Jasmine Restaurant and serves as a conference facility and venue for cultural events. |
