Next Event:

THE FAMILY
LAUNCH
Tuesday 17 November 2009, 6.15 pm
Royal Society of Arts, London wc2

This free event will include: 

Screenings of short films 
From Bombay Mix regulars Sadia & Shazia Ur-Rehman and Harjinder Grewal. PL4TE5 documents the stories behind Ilford's Asian number plate collectors and explores the roots of their fixations. Portraits shows a personal perspective on being second generation British Asian; and Suburbia Blues reveals a dreamy portrait of Southall through black and white photography and urban soundscape.

Preview of Channel 4 series The Family
This BAFTA-nominated series returns this year with the Punjabi Grewal family from Windsor. A funny and revealing fly-on-the-wall documentary, which is the first of its kind to show British Asian life in such detail, and starts broadcasting on 4 November. We will be showing the third episode prior to its broadcast (click here for more).

Panel Discussion
With Channel 4's Head of Diversity, Oona King; Commissioning Editor Aysha Rafaele; and filmmakers Sadia & Shazia Ur-Rehman (+ British Asian celebrity TBC) -- on how the portrayal of South Asians in the British media is changing.

-- followed by a drinks reception.
