Shalom Bollywood: The Untold Story of Indian Cinema / Danny Ben-Moshe

(Australia, 2017, 76mins)

Full of unexpected surprises and archival jewels from cinematic history, Shalom Bollywood reveals the forgotten history of early Indian cinema, when Jewish stars reigned supreme on the desi screen. Following the stories of nice Jewish girls who ruled the Indian screen for over four decades, Ben-Moshe’s entertaining and eye-opening doc includes interviews with Bollywood icons and kitschy animation, and shows us how cinema has always been a medium for bridging cultures.

WHY WE RECOMMEND ADVANCE TICKETING? We recommend buying tickets online in advance as The New People Cinema has fewer seats than our other venues, and some showings will surely sell out. Online tickets ($11/film) are cheaper than at-the-door tickets ($13/film), and passes can only be purchased online!
