IFFLA 2010 Opening Night Gala Announced!
The Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles has announced COOKING WITH STELLA as the opening night film at a benefit gala kicking off the eighth annual festival on Tuesday, April 20. Lisa Ray, who stars in the film, reunites with director Dilip Mehta and producer Deepa Mehta, who co-wrote the screenplay. COOKING WITH STELLA is a warm-hearted comedy about scheming cook Stella (Seema Biswas) who uses her long-term post as the personal chef to the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi to run an elaborate grey market import business. Dilip and Deepa Mehta will be in attendance at the film’s Los Angeles premiere. The event is supported by Screen Actors Guild, Telefilm Canada and the Consulate General of Canada in Los Angeles. Proceeds from the Gala will benefit the Institute for Myeloma & Bone Cancer Research, an independent non-profit research institute working to find improved treatment and a cure for multiple myeloma.
