HOLLYWOOD -- UCLA Film School, MCorp. Global and a slew of orgs gave L.A. a preview of the summer's Indian Splendor event March 24 at Westwood's Hammer Museum.

Bollywood pic "Eklavya: The Royal Guard" unspooled, followed by a Q&A with director Vidhu Vinod Chopra.

Robert Rosen, dean of the UCLA film school, said school reps will select the five pics that will unspool Aug. 10-14, ending with Aug. 15 celebration for the 60th anni of India's independence. Hyde Park principal Ashok Amritraj will be the ambassador for the event, said, "I've represented India here in Hollywood for a long time and it's nice to talk about the culture and art and all the things that India has to offer." Dr. B.K. Modi, whose MCorp. is co-sponsoring event, said, "You can't take people to the theater, you have to bring theater to them."
