the NY film screening premiere of Jason Da Silva's short film, Olivia's Puzzle
Olivia's Puzzle takes a look into a regular day of Reshma and Olivia, who are both seven years-old Goanese girls. Reshma was born and raised in her home country of Goa, India. Olivia was born and raised in British Columbia, Canada.  The film weaves itself through a regular school day of these two girls, comparing and contrasting what the differences and similarities are between the two of them. As the children narrate in their spoken languages(one in English, the other in Konkani), they explain the events that take place as their days unfold.
