Meet Nina Paley, America's Best-loved Unknown Cartoonist and creator of "Sita Sings the Blues," an animated feature film that weaves the Ramayana, a personal story about the end of a marriage, and the 1920s jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw. The film has been racking up awards. It was an official selection at ten film festivals, including Tribeca and Berlin, and has just won Best Feature at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in Avignon, France.
This image is of Nina taking her star turn for the cameras at the Tribeca Film Festival in April, when "Sita" made its American debut.
