Acting Upon a Needle is a survey of short films hailing from the last five years of
the Toronto Tamil Film Festival. The five films being screened, by J.P.J. Anantharamanan, Subas Kamalendran, Abhilash U, KBB Naveen and N. Sundar, confront the harsh realities of war and genocide from within South Asia and its diaspora, through experiences both everyday and fantastic. The screening will be preceded by a reception and followed by a panel discussion with Ragunathan M. and Vino Shanmuganathan.
