Opening Night - NY Premiere of The Rainbow Experiment
Award-winning Harlem Intl Alum Christina Kallas is back to kick off the Festival with the New York Premiere of her new winding, propulsive ensemble piece!

We could not think of a better way to jump-start the 13th Annual Festival than by celebrating some amazing women behind the camera, and we are thrilled to host the NYC premiere of this critically-acclaimed, timely, multi-character drama set in a NYC high school after a terrible accident on school grounds.  The evening will be presented by one of the worlds most revered filmmakers, Mira Nair (Salaam Bombay, Vanity Fair, Queen of Katwe)  our annual Mira Nair Award for Rising Female Filmmaker is named in honor of her.  The Rainbow Experiment is a contender for this award and several others this year.  It will be introduced and followed by a Director Q&A with celebrated film historian and author Annette Insdorf, Professor of Film Studies at Columbia University whose books include Francois Truffaut; Double Lives, Second Chances: The Cinema of Krzysztof Kieslowski and Cinematic Overtures: How to Read Opening Scenes.
