Dosa Hunt Premiere

What: "The Greatest Hunt For South Indian Food In NYC Ever Committed To Film", DOSA HUNT is an independent short documentary featuring Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij, Das Racist's Himanshu Suri & Ashok "Dapwell" Kondabolu, Yeasayer's Anand Wilder, Neon Indian's Alan Palomo, jazz pianist Vijay Iyer, and Stereogum's Executive Editor (and DOSA HUNT filmmaker) Amrit Singh -- a group of music-world friends on a quest for their hometown's best dosa. The traditional South Indian crepe is delicious enough to make a movie about, though our heroes' journey doubles as an exploration of the shared and respective cultures of a vibrant group of NYC artists in the wilds of their city. DOSA HUNT is a snapshot of a transitional generation in America's immigrant/art experience, in hot pursuit of good food.

The film's premiere and opening run are at Nitehawk Cinema on Friday 10/5, Saturday 10/6, and Monday 10/8. Each ticket comes with dosa and samosa (provided by Anjappar), and the Friday screening will be followed by a Q&A moderated by music television great John Norris. The afterparties will feature beer compliments of Kingfisher with DJ sets by DFA Records artist REWARDS (10/5), Jagjaguwar Records' artist Small Black (10/6), and Quinn Walker of Frenchkiss Records outfit Suckers (10/8).

Friday and Saturday doors and drinks start at 11PM with seating and food service is at 12:15AM. The screening begins at 12:30AM, with the Q&A panel commencing immediately thereafter. (Monday is a matinee, with doors at 1PM and the same schedule of events. It's a proper way to celebrate Columbus Day given how much that dude loved Indians.) This will be a lot of fun, you should consider coming.
