Filmmaker Magazine Presents, a monthly series at the Paris Theater, is excited to announce a pair of screenings and in-person conversations set for this June. 

On Monday, June 23, director Mira Nair will visit the Paris to discuss her 2001 crowd-pleaser Monsoon Wedding, an ensemble piece that centers on the preparation for an arranged marriage in India. The film took home the Golden Lion at the 2001 Venice Film Festival and was a Golden Globe nominee for Best Foreign Language Film.

The Paris Theater is proud to partner with Filmmaker Magazine, a publication of The Gotham Film & Media Institute, on Filmmaker Magazine Presents, a monthly screening series dedicated to connecting audiences with the new and established film artists who make New York City the center of independent media culture.
