The South Asian International Film Festival is one of the most exciting events on New York's cultural calendar and filmmakers from all over the world, of South Asian origin, compete to be part of it. "It's a delight to be there", says Rajat Kapoor, "and it shows the growing reach and global acceptance of Indian feature films".
