The 2008 DestinAsians festival
launched with a sumptuous mix of South Asian film, music and performance. Beginning
with a performance choreographed by Amina
Khayyam, titled EshtiAgh (Longing)
– set against
the stunning backdrop of the 17th century Great Hall of the Queen’s House. The
piece combined the splendour of Persian poetry with the haunting melodies and
hypnotic rhythms of traditional Indian kathak and tarana dance.

the world, including documentaries, animation, drama and comedy (plus introductions
from some of the filmmakers).

BOMBAY MIX Presents ‘MONSOON WEDDING’
Sunday 13 May 2007
Cafe Crema, New Cross Road, London se14
We launched Bombay Mix in the spring of 2007
as a
response to the lack of good South Asian film screenings in
our
local area. We kicked off with Mira Nair’s 2001 hit film Monsoon
Wedding at Cafe Crema -- a great local venue
in New Cross. We transformed
the space with colourful decorations and also provided delicious traditional
Indian
food for our audience ! |
