SARBARI CHOWDHURY
Trustee- VP
A debutant filmmaker, Sarbari Chowdhury is avidly interested in the cultural heritages of the world. Her mission is to document these global cultural idioms, with a view to preserve them. Her debut narrative documentary, Broto Alpona, deals with ancient socio-religious rituals of the Woman of Bengal, both in India and Bangladesh. Broto Alpona, by definition, is a finger- painted art form created during specific periods, coinciding with religious rituals. This film helps her to continue delving into the background of almost-extinct social mores of the native Indians, from Eastern and Northern areas. She collaborates with established film production companies to bring her films to fruition.
Sarbari has acted in several films, is a Director of theater and also a published author, of a book of short stories named “Earthen Angels”. Her plays have been stages at various cities in the USA including Phoenix, Arizona, Houston, Texas, Los Angeles and San Jose. She has also worked as Chairperson of the North American Bengali Conference’s Film segment since 2012.
An Engineer by training, Sarbari has spent more than 25 years in the high tech industry and currently lives in Chandler Arizona, with her husband and two children. She divides her time between Kolkata, India and Chandler, USA.
