Description

“Hollywood could learn a thing or two about how to be truthful and lighthearted at the same time from Nisha Ganatra...” — New York Times When Chutney Popcorn premiered at Outfest LA in 1999 with support from members of the nascent organization TrikoneLA (now Satrang), it was one of the first queer South Asian films. Honoring this history and in conjunction with the Satrang at 25: Queer South Asian Diaspora(s) in Context exhibition at the ONE Archives at the USC Libraries and the USC Pacific Asia Museum, the crowd-pleasing, award-winning, and groundbreaking romcom by writer, director, and actor Nisha Ganatra will be screened outdoors, followed by a conversation with the filmmaker and Iranian American writer and director Maryam Keshavarz, moderated by independent curator Aziz Sohail.
