Mission
NJISACF is dedicated to introducing its target audience in New Jersey-New York-Connecticut–about 250,000 South Asians as well as the mainstream American population in the New Jersey-New York- Connecticut area–to some of the alternative brilliant films that reflect the complex experiences of being a South Asian in the 21st century. Along with this, NJISACF helps to introduce and promote the South Asian independent filmmakers. NJISACF aims to be a major cultural event of New Jersey-New York, and has been hailed by the audience as a "pioneering event", a "gift to New Jersey and the South Asian community", and "one of the best things that happened to New Jersey". NJISACF is solely managed by volunteers, partners and sponsors, to bring the magic of the South Asian silver screen to its audience, and unite in the celebration of a common spirit.

Famous quotes containing the word mission:
“I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The mission of men there seems to be, like so many busy demons, to drive the forest all out of the country, from every solitary beaver swamp and mountain-side, as soon as possible.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation.”
—William McKinley (1843–1901)
