SSAFF (2011) – 7th Seattle South Asian Film Festival
Welcome to the 7th SSAFF. The name change, from Independent South-Asian Film Festival to Seattle South-Asian Film Festival, was made to accommodate the new kind of “parallel” cinema which crosses boundaries between mainstream and independent movies — one that appeals to the broader audience even as it deals with topics not usually addressed by big production houses while making ourselves a Seattle main stay. The Seattle South Asian Film Festival (SSAFF) is a 3-day film festival produced by Tasveer for people to discover, experience, and enjoy a range of South Asian films, workshops and forums. SSAFF creates a lively, stimulating and focused environment for conversation, education and exploration of issues that face South Asia and its Diaspora.
