Anisha Jhaveri

Born and raised in Japan to Indian parents, freelance film writer Anisha Jhaveri’s globe-spanning background lent itself to her vast exposure and interest in world cinema. A former but fierce New Yorker, she spent five years in the city, where she programmed the Rubin Museum of Art’s Cabaret Cinema film series and was the marketing coordinator for the South Asian ZEE TV network. Currently based in Singapore, she has turned her focus to her passion of writing about movies as the author of her own film blog, Reel Simple, and contributor to platforms such as PopXO.com and The Independent. Be it through reviews, interviews, or think pieces, she is constantly on the lookout to explore cinema that imparts cultural insights and resonates with audiences on levels unmarked by national or social lines. Anisha holds a B.A in Screen Arts & Cultures from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and a Master’s in Media Studies from The New School University.
