The first Festival of Globe Awards (#FOGAwards), Aug. 15, at San Jose Center for Performing Arts, honored world cinema with movie stars in attendance. It brought movie stars from the world to San Jose, Calif., for the first time and was a very successful attempt at bringing various ethnicities together through a celebration of cinema. The event, a brainchild of Dr. Romesh Japra and his FIA team (#FIANC), was a week-long affair with many ethnic movies being screened. Stars mingled with their fans and finally the awards were handed to the best of the best. A grand show marked the end of this celebration.  A Siliconeer photo essay. – @Siliconeer, #Siliconeer
