Presented by Tasveer

Join us for an evening of outstanding short films, food & drink, and Nepali culture to kick off the Tasveer South Asian Film Festival (TSAFF). Meet the festival team and get a special sneak preview of the best TSAFF yet!

The Tasveer South Asian Film Festival is Tasveer's most extensive production. It is a 10-day extravaganza that takes place every fall. The first TSAFF (formerly known as ISAFF and SSAFF) took place in 2004. TSAFF creates a lively, stimulating, and focused environment for conversation, education, and exploration of issues that face South Asia and its Diaspora. Through a series of film screenings, panel discussions, workshops, and cultural programming, our goal is to involve audiences not just with the film and video works presented, but to create a prolonged space where the social, political, personal, and international issues that form the core subjects of those works can be discussed and understood. For this event, a curated selection of shorts will celebrate themes on display in BAM’s exhibitions, followed by music and South Asian snacks.
