A celebration of the all-singing, all-dancing history of the world’s largest film industry.
“Shalom Bollywood” reveals the unlikely story of the 2,000-year-old Indian Jewish community and its formative place in shaping Bombay Cinema, now coined Bollywood.
At the advent of the Indian cinema industry, it was taboo for Hindu and Islamic women to perform onscreen. With access to rare archival footage, this documentary tells its extraordinary tale through the lives of Indian cinema’s Jewish women who took upon the female lead roles and were at the heart of Bollywood from the turn of the 20th century to the present day.
Co-sponsored by Boston Jewish Film, this exciting evening begins with an Indian dinner and time to schmooze and concludes with a talkback.
