Award Winning Film at SSFF
SSFF Instructor/Filmmaker Wins Award!

Sky People, a film by Workshop Instructor/Filmmaker, Shanti Thakur won Best Experimental Film at LA-based film festival.
"I have never, ever had such a fulfilling experience with an audience. And I think this is why SouthSide is such a great venue... their audience is HUNGRY for this kind of film. As IFHY played down, I was astonished at how engaged the audience was -- this compared to the screening recently in LA where the reception was good, but not overwhelmingly so." Zak Forsman, I F*cking Hate You - SSFF 2008
