UK Asian Film Festival presents: 'How She Moves' The film follows the spirited 90-year-old guru Indu Mitha, as she prepares for her students’ final performance before she retires. How She Moves pulls back the curtain on her life as one of Pakistan’s few classical dance teachers. We observe her give a feminist and secular spin on classical dance, and see the transformative impact it has on her students. Director: Anya Raza & Aisha Linnea Akhtar Q&A: Anya Raza & Aisha Linnea Akhtar 'The Dark Side of Moon' This film is about the journey of Sangeet Foundation, a UK based organisation working towards creating mental health awareness, providing guidance and resources by leveraging music and the arts, especially among the South Asian diaspora. It is also a Research Innovation Project with De Montfort University (DMU), Leicester, UK.
