bullet Women's International Film Festival in Miami to celebrate India corner

Fifth Women's International Film and Arts Festival (WIFF) at Miami (USA) from March 26 to April three will celebrate India with exhibition of India-focused films on March 29, according to reports.

It will include "The Shadow Effect" (documentary feature, Scott Cervine), "Can She Be Saved" (documentary short, Yasmin Shiraz), "Goddess Menstrual Show", "Astronaut Pam: Countdown to Commander", "Sindoor" (narrative short, Mangla Bansal), and "Land Gold Women" (narrative feature, Avantika Hari)

WIFF is a unique annual cultural event featuring films, visual and performance arts and other artistic expressions by women to celebrate women and to help them realize their dreams, visions, and voices. The events reportedly bring together women from all over the world.

Founded by Yvonne McCormack-Lyons, WIFF 2010 will include nine days of film viewings in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties of Florida (USA) as well as workshops, panel discussions, and symposia conducted by industry professionals. With about 400 films received from more than 30 countries this year, this Festival will screen 68 films about women. Various actors from around the world are also expected to attend. (ANI)

We work strenuously to bring our readers a completely independent perspective of Miami news. Our software programmers, editors, journalists and affiliated wire services are all dedicated to producing the best journalism possible.

This in a world where conflicts of interest pervade business empires, and political dynasties, and where a shrinking number of media proprietors are growing their interests at the expensive of diversity of media ownership. The Miami Mirror is an independent online newspaper. Our focus primarily is to produce the latest breaking stories out of Miami.

We also cover the nation. Regional news too is a priority, as is our extensive world news coverage. For a Miami weather report, local news, breaking international headlines, or what's happening in sports, the Miami Mirror is for you.

Our Business Centre too is active 24 hours a day, bringing you the latest market updates from key global centres like Tokyo, Sydney, London, Paris, Berlin, and New York. Foreign exchange rates are a regular feature, and we provides a vast range of general interest news covering topics like business travel, seniors, womens interest, and lifestyle stories.
