Los Angeles may be the heart of movie production, but as far as audiences go, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more enthusiastic, intelligent group of filmgoers than the people of Seattle. Our enthusiasm is rewarded in a number of ways, including the selection of Seattle as a home for a wide range of film festivals. One of these is the Independent South Asian Film Festival organized by Tasveer.

2007 marks the fourth year of the ISAFF, a five-day celebration of indie film by and about South Asians that is meant to build community both in Seattle and throughout South Asia. Films include a look at the present state of women’s rights in Afghanistan, interfaith dialogue in Pakistan, and many other varied stories. The festival is sponsored this year by Seattle’s Department of Neighborhoods and will take place from October 3rd through October 7th. The festival is free, but voluntary donations are welcomed.
