Sikhlens: Sikh Arts & Film Festival 2022

Our annual film festival is back at its two theater homes, Dodge College and The Frida Cinema for 3 days of celebration in Sikh arts, books and films. Starting off with a red carpeted event at Dodge College’s Folino Theater for an Opening Night with Sikhlens film shorts and a special animated feature. 

Then two full days of movies, from morning till evening at The Frida Cinema in nearby Downtown Santa Ana.  We’re bringing back a favorite—a special session called Creative Sikhs, with Sikhs in the creative arts industry on stage for a Q&A session. Ask questions and learn from their journeys in film and literature. Then sprinkled throughout both days, we have short films submitted to us from filmmakers around the world.

And finally, ending both days we have full-featured movies; three to choose from: Donkeyhead, Baajre Da Sitta, and Qismat 2.
