Monica, Sorry I didn't reply sooner to this...I do think we should try to screen this but am just a little overwhelmed with tuesday's screening + final solution. Since Malika Dhutt was involved with the screening in NY, perhaps it would be good to screen Sonia's film the same weekend as SAPAC is planning to bring Malika Dhutt--in the fall, right?? What do others think?
