Eleven years running and this South Asian cinema celebration remains as fresh as ever with selections across multiple genres. Indie Meme enters its second year of double digits with kickoff screening Vimukt (In Search of the Sky), an exploration of disability in rural India through the eyes of parents seeking care for their developmentally disabled son on a religious pilgrimage to the Maha Kumbh. But that’s only the beginning of a lineup programming chair Animon Jose says “highlights the fearless voices of the South Asian diaspora.” Those voices include Rachel Immaraj (OCD doc An Unquiet Mind), Tribeny Rai (debut homecoming feature Shape of Momo), Ali Asgari (underground satire Divine Comedy), Annapurna Sriram (SXSW-featured genre piece Fucktoys), and many more.
