Still from Personality.

Our next DocuClub screening will be on Wednesday, May 21, at 7 p.m., at Goldcrest Post (799 Washington Street, between Horatio and Gansevoort), in New York City’s West Village. Our moderator will be Liz Ogilvie, Head of Programming for Docurama Films.

Join us as we watch Personality by Vinay Chowdhry. In the film, a Bollywood background dancer tries to make it in the film industry in India. The young man moves from his village in northern India to Mumbai to achieve his dreams of stardom, only to find out that although he is talented, he lacks what is known as "personality," a euphemism for being light-skinned and confident in a newly globalized India. The film is in Hindi, with subtitles. See a trailer for the film at: http://personalitythemovie.com/trailer.asp.
