Friends of India Film Screenings

Celebrating the Culture of India through Film

The many cultures of the Indian subcontinent offer a rich plethora of traditions, philosophies, arts and music. Moreover, Athens is home to a vibrant population of students, faculty, and community members who either hail from the this region of the globe or have have strong ties to it. As a result, we are honored to partner with Ohio University’s Friends of India Endowment organization to feature films that celebrate India and its contribution to The Arts.

The film screenings in this series are meant as a way for the entire Athens community to come together in experiencing the wonderful things that India has to offer, as well as to see some outstanding movies made by Indian filmmakers. These events will often include special concessions like curry popcorn and chai tea provided by FOI members, as well as the opportunity for patrons to chat and get to know one another.
