Fulbright scholar’s documentary selected for five US film fests

Local filmmaker Indrani Kopal is making waves in the US short film industry after her documentary featuring a modern dance prison rehabilitation program for men was accepted into five film festivals.

PETALING JAYA: When local filmmaker Indrani Kopal was first asked to submit her short documentaries to film festivals in the United States, she was against the idea.

However, after her film was accepted for five film festivals – a rare success for a student’s work – Indrani, who is studying at the Hofstra University in New York, has her lecturer to thank for the success.
