The South Asian House project, which focuses on showcasing, honoring, and valuing South Asians within film and television, has teamed up with the Islamic Scholarship Fund to offer content at the 2025 Tribeca Festival. This partnership represents a crucial step forward in promoting representation of South Asians, Arabs, and Muslims within the entertainment industry.
During festival week, the collaboration will organize a variety of panel discussions, social gatherings, and cultural activities, backed by The Brown Girl Clubhouse, a hub fostering South Asian women’s community. These events aim to promote diversity in cinema, television, and media while offering opportunities for interaction and creative commemoration.
Important occurrences feature a movie-related event on June 3, hosted by the Arab Film and Media Institute at MadamJi, followed by a “Filmmakers & Tea” get-together on June 4, held at the Brown Girl Clubhouse.
The panel discussions will include Rohi Mirza Pandya, founder of South Asian House, as well as Rohi Mirza Pandya from Box Office Guru Media; Hemal Trivedi, a member of the Academy; Maaha Khan, an entertainment lawyer; Maya Labban, managing director of Arab Film and Media Institute; Samrat Chakrabarti, who is both a musician and actor; Aizzah Fatima, a filmmaker and actor; and comedian Atheer Yacoub.
The main focus of our discussions will be on directors and cast members from the movies “Pinch,” helmed by Uttera Singh, and “Poreless,” which was both produced by and acted in by Akbar Hamid and also co-written by Fawzia Mirza, that were selected for Tribeca.
At the BG Clubhouse, the pioneering U.S. non-profit organization, ISF, which champions filmmakers who narrate Muslim tales, will arrange a showcase of short films. This event will highlight works by Kausar Mohammad, Habib Yazdi, Fatimah Asghar, along with other filmmakers yet to be disclosed.
As a passionate cinephile, I’m overjoyed to announce that we’re teaming up with the BG Clubhouse, AFMI, and ISF for an exciting venture at Tribeca. This collaboration is all about providing a welcoming space for narratives from South Asia, the Arab world, and the Muslim community. Our aim is to nurture connections, shatter boundaries, and honor the vibrant tapestry of our cultures.
The South Asian House is set to reappear at the Tribeca Festival’s AT&T Untold Stories Lounge on June 11, hosting a panel titled “Writing Intricate Tales for a Streamlined Era.” The panel, organized by South Asian House’s Pandya and ISF artist development and partnerships manager Aizzah Fatima, will delve into the increasing significance of fostering intricate, female-led narratives in the film and television industry.
The goal of this discussion is to explore the power of diverse storytelling in fostering stronger bonds with audiences and broadening filmmaking viewpoints, encouraging us all to strive for fairer representation and increased chances for female filmmakers.
Established by Pandya and Monika Samtani, the South Asian House is dedicated to providing joyful venues for South Asian communities during significant festivals and cultural gatherings. Since 2009, the Interfaith Storytellers Foundation (ISF) has been committed to enhancing Muslim narratives in media, while advocating for increased justice and representation for marginalized groups.
