Nina Paley's "Sita Sings the Blues" to air on Urbana Public Television

Date: October 1, 2011 (All day)

Urbana Public Television is proud to present three broadcasts of Urbana native Nina Paley’s critically-acclaimed film Sita Sings the Blues


The animated classic combines stories from the Ramayana and Paley’s personal life with the music of 1920s singer Annette Hanshaw in one feature-length, unforgettable work.  Film critic and fellow Urbana native Roger Ebert wrote, "I am enchanted. I am swept away. I am smiling from one end of the film to the other. It is astonishingly original.”


 


Sita Sings the Blues airs Saturday, September 24th at 8pm, Sunday September 25th at 11 pm, and Thursday September 29th at 8:30pm on UPTV (Comcast Channel 6, AT&T U-Verse Channel 99).
