🎬✨ Obaid Kadwani at AwesomeIFF

Having Obaid Kadwani be part of AwesomeIFF was especially meaningful. Our connection goes beyond this festival, and seeing him here supporting the vision, the filmmakers and the stories we’re building a platform for made this moment personal. ❤️

Obaid is not only an actor and filmmaker, but someone whose passion for our community and South Asian storytelling I truly value.

Grateful to share this AwesomeIFF journey with people who believe in Cinema Without Borders. 🌎🎥

September 11, 2001.

Twenty-five years on, the skyline has changed. The memory has not.

We remember the 2,977 lives taken that morning. The firefighters who climbed while everyone else came down. The office workers who never made it home. The passengers on Flight 93 who decided the plane would not reach Washington. The first responders and recovery workers still carrying the cost of that day in their bodies.
New York rebuilt. Two beams of light rise from Lower Manhattan every year to say so. But rebuilding was never the same thing as forgetting.

From all of us at AWSM Times — a New York newsroom, on a New York anniversary — we remember every name.
