A celebration of the all-singing, all-dancing history of the world’s largest film industry. Shalom Bollywood reveals the unlikely story of the 2000 year old Indian Jewish community and its formative place in shaping Bombay Cinema, now coined Bollywood. At the advent of the Indian cinema industry, it was taboo for Hindu and Islamic women to perform on-screen. With access to rare archival footage, this documentary tells its extraordinary tale through the lives of Indian cinema’s Jewish women who took upon the female lead roles and were at the heart of Bollywood from the turn of the 20th century to the present day. This exciting evening will begin with an Indian dinner and time to shmooze and will conclude with a talkback.
