Actually, Gingger is not in town for the screening today. She was in Tacoma only for the screening at the Grand last Friday. You can still see her film though.
The producer of the fine film KINYARWANDA will be in attendance to talk about his film after the 6:45 screening this evening.

Thanks Philip. A "Yes" in the attendance column next to her name threw us off. We apologize.

Guys,
Gingger is not related to sitar maestro Ravi Shankar as most folks think!!!! She is the estranged daughter of the legendary violinist L Subramaniam. www.indianexpress.com/news/gingger-in-your-music/765014/
