What: “Moonshine After Dark” is a double screening of local shorts with classic features; We’ll be showcasing the local short “Mysore Magic” Dir. Abijeet Achar and color finished by John Petersen “JP” and the classic feature “Mississippi Masala” (4K Restoration).
About the films:
“Mysore Magic” (2023): The true story of an unlikely romance in 1982 at a disco competition in Mysore, India.
“Mississippi Masala” (1991): Years after her Indian family was forced to flee their home in Uganda, twenty-something Mina finds herself helping to run a motel in the faraway land of Mississippi. It’s there that a passionate romance with the charming Black carpet cleaner Demetrius challenges the prejudices of their conservative families and exposes the rifts between the region’s Indian and African American communities.
