Just want to put the word out that the first-ever Bollywood Benshi night, curated by Konrad Steiner and me, is happening this Saturday, November 1st. For those of you unfamiliar with the "benshi" form, picture writers doing a live performance of an original reinterpretation of a carefully selected film clip (in this case, from Bollywood or India-themed movies) . The result is a terrifically entertaining and poetic event!
