Son of a Sweeper
Pebbles

“It’s extremely exciting to bring the South Asian Film Festival back in the theater with a full program that’s as diverse, thought-provoking and entertaining as ever,” said Matthew Curtis, Enzian Programming Director, and Jasbir Mehta, Executive Director of the Asian Cultural Association, in a joint statement.

Tickets are currently available through the Enzian Theater. A series pass is also available for admission to all films.
