BAGGAGE 2018 | India | 114 mins | Kannada (with English subtitles) Directed by – Roopa Rao Cast - Teju Belawadi, Nischith Korodi, Bhargav Raju, Surya Vasishta, Sharath Gowda, Sri Ranga, 
Post Screening Q&A with director Roopa Rao Synopsis: A simple yet an intense high school drama set in the 1990's of Bangalore, story of a 16 year old girl and her struggles with understanding herself and the ever changing world around, her journey from a world that she thinks exists just like in the movies she saw (like any other Indian girl of 90's) to the actual world that unravels to her. A relatable pressure of education, childhood traumas, bullying, competition over marks and love interests, all of this wrapped in a transcending journey of first love. <IMG ALT="Roopa Rao" SRC="https://www.iaac.us/nyiff2019/images/schedule_img/Baggage-dir_s.jpg">Director: A global citizen rooted to her small town upbringing, Roopa truly believes storytelling is the only way to transmit what truly matters to humanity. A Masters graduate in Commerce and Finance, Roopa is an ex IT professional, who quit her job as a project manager in Infosys to pursue her undying passion for films. She is an alumnus of the Asian Academy of Film & Television. She has co-directed Kannada and Tamil feature film - ‘Only Vishnuvardhana’ & ‘Kuraiondrumillai’, line produced three German productions; written, directed, produced numerous brand films and short films. She is popularly known for her partially crowd funded India’s first same sex web series “The ‘Other’ Love Story”, which has not only won her international awards for ‘Best Director’ (at ‘NY Web fest’) and ‘Best Story’ (at ‘Toronto Web fest’) with 7 other nominations, but also has won millions of hearts across the globe with 60 million views on ‘Youtube’. ‘The Week’ Magazine has honored her as ‘woman of the year’ in 2016 for their year end special edition amongst other celebrated achievers.
