On the occassion of Suchitra Mattai: she walked in reverse and found their songs, join us for screenings of the Academy Award-nominated short film Anuja. Co-created and produced by artist Suchitra Mattai and writer and director Adam Graves, Anuja tells the story of a gifted nine-year-old girl who, alongside her sister Palak, faces a life-changing opportunity that tests their bond and mirrors the struggles of girls worldwide.

The film will be played on a loop, starting at 2 pm. The film has an approximate runtime of 22 minutes.

SAM Films are generously supported by the Bagley and Virginia Wright Endowment and The Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Film and Education Endowment.
