We had a wonderful time sharing Indelible Lalita with audiences at the Women, Action, & The Media Film Festival at the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge last Saturday. The film was paired with Karen Rossi Couughlin's Holy Saturday, a hilarious fictional short about a Puerto Rican mother-daughter relationship. I met Karen when we were both fellows at the Flaherty Film Seminar two years ago , and it was great to hang out with her again.
Several people came up to me after the screening to tell me how they were moved by the film, particularly the mother-daughter relationship. Three separate audience members had lost their mothers in the previous year, and felt the resonance with Lalita's experience.
And I'm happy to say that the film won the festivals' Audience Award!
