A TRIBUTE TO MIRA NAIR Tribute

After the conversation with Mira Nair, watch A SUITABLE BOY starting at 6:00 p.m. PDT

Mira Nair’s accomplished filmmaking has earned her accolades around the world. With her directorial debut, SALAAM BOMBAY! (1988), Nair won the Caméra d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and later went on to earn an Academy Award® nomination for Best Foreign Language film. Since then she has become a modern cinema master with films such as MISSISSIPPI MASALA (1991), MONSOON WEDDING (2001) and THE NAMESAKE (2006). AFI FEST salutes director and activist Mira Nair this year with a special conversation moderated by Indiewire Editor-at-Large Anne Thompson followed by the US premiere screening of the six-hour series A SUITABLE BOY, based on Vikram Seth’s classic novel.
