James Ivory Documentary, Manoj Bajpayee Starrer to Headline New York Indian Film Festival’s 25th Anniversary Slate
Manoj Bajpayee stars in NYIFF opener 'The Fable' while a James Ivory documentary explores his India connection at the festival's 25th anniversary.
The festival will honor the late master filmmaker Shyam Benegal with a screening of the 4K restoration of his 1976 landmark “Manthan” about India’s White Revolution, which premiered in the Cannes Classics section last year. Anurag Kashyap ‘s noir thriller “Kennedy,” which premiered in Cannes’ Midnight section, serves as the centerpiece selection featuring Rahul Bhat and Sunny Leone, while debut director Kaushal Oza’s coming-of-age dramedy “Little Thomas” will close the festival with stars Rasika Dugal and Gulshan Devaiah in attendance. Notable titles include Rima Das’ “Village Rockstars 2,” Sharmila Tagore’s return to Bengali cinema in “The Ancient,” and Shonali Bose and Nilesh Maniyar’s deeply personal documentary “A Fly on the Wall.”
