There will be 18 films from all over the world, starting with “Cooking with Stella,”<\/strong> an Indian\/Canadian satirical comedy about a Canadian diplomat and her chef husband, who relocate to New Dehli and inherit a household cook — and force of nature — named Stella. The chef wants to tap into Stella’s vast expertise to spice up his own cooking repertoire — but has no idea what he’s in for.<\/p>\n

Other highlights include “The Taqwacores,”<\/strong> about a group of young Muslim punk rockers in Buffalo, attempting to reconcile their seemingly contradictory identities, and “Make Yourself at Home”<\/strong> is a creepy South Korean thriller starring Korean supermodel Song Hye Kyo.<\/p>\n

Kicking off the festival tonight is the Silk Screen Gala <\/strong>— easily one of the most colorful social events of the year, with food from some of the region’s top Asian restaurants and a vast array of ethnic performances. The gala includes fire-eaters, Japanese choral singers, bellydancers, bhangra DJs, and renowned Bollywood singer Akshay Hari. <\/p>\n

As usual, Silk Screen interprets “Asia” in the broadest possible sense. India’s massive film industry is amply represented, of course, as are the well-established cinemas of Japan and China. But other, more obscure corners of the world are heard from, too — like the Sri Lankan film “Between Two Worlds,” an experimental, image-driven meditation on the island’s long-running civil war. <\/p>\n

(Above is: ‘The People I’ve Slept With’ – A young woman finds out she’s pregnant and seeks to find out who the father.)<\/em><\/p>\n
