Socially Conscious South Asian Film Club (SOCOSA-FC)

Join us for two days of movie magic at the 2025 Tasveer Film Festival! The Friday schedule is short and social, whereas the Saturday schedule is jam packed with short films. Choose your own adventure based on your interests/availability, and stay for lunch/dinner if you can! The complete TFF 2025 schedule is available here.

Our pared-down TFF schedule centers around the Tasveer Film Center in Columbia City. It is a short walk from the Columbia City 1 Line station, and close to the 7/9/50/106 bus stops. We will meet at the front of the building before we head out for each activity.

Below is our tentative schedule. Ignore the default attendees on Meetup and please RSVP on Eventbrite if you will be attending!

Friday October 10

• 5 pm: snacks and drinks from Spice Waala / Island Soul (optional)
• 6:30 pm: Artificial Intimacies: A Door To My Memory
• 9 pm: dinner and discussion at Taco City Taqueria (optional)

Note 1: You are responsible for purchasing your own tickets to each TFF screening you choose to attend. General Admission is $17 and student tickets are $14 for each session. Since Tasveer and TFF support rising filmmakers and provide "a platform for South Asian storytellers from across the globe to showcase their talent", we will not screen the 2025 TFF virtual program as part of SOCOSA FC's monthly screenings.

Note 2: SOCOSA FC and the event organizers are not affiliated with either Tasveer or the Tasveer Film Festival. This event is simply an opportunity to gather and celebrate the work of South Asian filmmakers!
