As promised here's the round-up of posts and reviews for the 2011 Nag Panchami Film Fessssstival.
There were many more post than had I imagined when we started talking about this in the spring--thanks to everyone for participating. I was hoping to crank out a few more posts myself (between wrapping things up at my job, going on a trip, and having family in town, August was crazy!), but I have lots of idea for next year, and I have my fingers crossed that each of the Indian film industries will crank out five more snake films in the coming year. Please let me know if I've missed anything!
