Welcome!

The University of Michigan School of Communication Studies is bringing Ann Arbor a weekend full of South Asian Diasporic Films. Between the giant cinemas of Hollywood and Bollywood lie the films of the South Asian diasporia. Film has been of great importance in the South Asian diasporic cultures as it challenges dominant ideas of large cinemas such as gender, race and sexuality. From screenings of Academy Award winning films to Q&A’s with the casts and directors, A Weekend Between Hollywood and Bollywood includes a variety of events to appeal every audience member. Use the blog resources to acquire background knowledge about the South Asian diaspora and learn about activities that will be taking place in Ann Arbor during the upcoming event. We hope you are excited to come experience what lies between Hollywood and Bollywood!
