Nina Paley’s Sita Sings the Blues, the highly-acclaimed animated feature whose distribution has been hampered by copyright problems, will have a special screening sponsored by ASIFA-Atlanta at the Plaza Theatre (1049 Ponce De Leon Ave. Atlanta 30306. 404 873-1939), Wednesday, March 11th, at 7:30 p.m. Prices are $8 for ASIFA-Atlanta members and $10 for non-members and can be bought online through ASIFA-Atlanta’s website.
Paley, an independent filmmaker and comic strip artist, who does not have the resources of even a minor studio behind her, has been raising money to help clear up the rights problem. In the meantime, the film can be seen for free online (as well as downloaded, also for free) coutesy of WNET, the New York public TV station, at channel13.org. For more information on Paley’s plans for the film, check out her blog, or her new Sita website.
