SUMMARY:Sikh I Am: Voices on Identity
DESCRIPTION:Three American-Sikhs assert and articulate their identity from a male perspective in this program of short docs. \nChristina Antonakos-Wallace’s Article of Faith (2011\, USA\, 10 mins\, in English) is a portrait of NY-based activist Sonny Singh\, as he inspires New York City Sikh-youth to stand up for themselves and combat harassment in their schools. This segment is part of a larger documentary\, with WINGS and ROOTS\, that is currently in production. \nSikligar (2012\, India\, 23 mins\, in Punjabi and Marvi with English subtitles) is a documentary by Mandeep Sethi about the hidden story of the Sikligar Sikhs\, the black-ironsmiths and weapons makers of the Khalsa Army of the Sikhs. \nHarjant Gill’s Roots of Love (2011\, India\, 26mins\, in English and Punjabi with English subtitles) examines the changing significance of the turban among Sikhs in India\, where the choice of cutting one’s hair is one that not only concerns the individual and his family\, but an entire community. \nFollowed by a discussion moderated by Simran Kaur (from the The Sikh Coalition). \npictured above: Sonny Singh in Article of Faith

SUMMARY:Jagte Raho (Stay Awake)
DESCRIPTION:Classic\nSomething of a departure for Kapoor\, Jagte Raho is a joint Bengali-Hindi film with expressionist touches meant to provide a comic yet critical survey of middle class life in India’s cities. Kapoor plays a familiar role: a poor wanderer from the country\, he enters an apartment building in search of a drink of water. Taken as a thief by the inhabitants\, he flees from flat to flat\, encountering a cross-section of the building’s inhabitants. Kapoor produced this film for collaborators he had met through his father’s work in the theater and the leftist Indian Peoples’ Theatre Association. Co-director Sombhu Mitra was one of the giants of 20th-century Bengali theater\, while scenarist K.A. Abbas – who also worked on Awaara – was a prominent writer\, critic and director and a major founder of India’s “parallel” cinema. The outstanding songs were composed by Salil Choudary and feature Shailendra’s poetry.\n– Harvard Film Archive

SUMMARY:Herman’s House
DESCRIPTION:Watch Trailer\nThe injustice of solitary confinement and the transformative power of art are explored in Herman’s House\, a must-see documentary that was an official selection of the Sundance Institute and the prestigious HotDocs festival. Former Black Panther Herman Wallace was languishing in solitary confinement when he received a letter from a young artist/activist\, Jackie Sumell\, posing a provocative question: “What kind of house does a man who has lived in a six-foot-by-nine-foot cell for over 30 years dream of?” Bhalla documents the process and the final art project that results from this initial letter: a striking installation that brings thousands of gallery visitors face to face with the injustices of the American prison system. Another terrific example of South Asian directors coming into the mainstream with stories about the universal human experience. \nPanel discussion following film with:\nAngad Bhalla\, Filmmaker\nRaphael Sperry\, former president of Architects/Designers/Planners for Social Responsibility (ADPSR) an organization involved in creating awareness about the moral issues surrounding prison design\nLaura Magnani of the American Friends Service Committee\, involved in advocating prison reform among other peace building initiatives\nRichard Kamler\, Artist (The Waiting Room and Table of Voices\, large installations that deal with prisons) and a former artist-in-residence at San Quentin Prison

SUMMARY:Family Album
DESCRIPTION:Family Album is a powerful meditation on the tangled relationship between memory\, history\, and the photograph\, and is a companion piece to Jain’s earlier City of Photos\, an exploration of the little-known world of neighborhood photo studios which was an audience favorite at 3rd i’s SFISAFF 2006. Jain interviews members from some of Calcutta’s oldest families as they page through family albums and portraits in their ancestral homes. Jain elicits some astonishing stories – a wife whose husband photographed her in men’s clothing\, a romantic portrait of a man and his dead wife\, images of women studying\, dressing-up\, playing music – as they negotiate the lines between freedom and enclosure. Family Album is ultimately an evocative\, rewarding film that showcases Jain’s innovative use of storytelling in documentary as a way to capture the imagination. Jain’s films have been shown extensively in Europe and in India\, and her documentary Lakshmi and Me (3rd i’s SFISAFF 2009) was featured on PBS’ Independent Lens Film series.

SUMMARY:Okul Nodi (Endless River) + I am Micro
DESCRIPTION:For lovers of that disappearing medium we call celluloid (or film)\, we bring two docs that can only be described as visual poetry. Okul Nodi (Tuni Chatterji\, Co-directed by Clay Dean\, 2012\, Bangladesh\, 52mins\, Bengali with English subtitles) examines the origins of Bhatiyali\, the river music of Bangladesh. Soulful and nostalgic\, Bhatiyali songs often rest on dual meanings wherein boats become bodies and lovers are also lost gods. Chatterji uses innovative sound editing and lingers on the materiality of the 16mm film to create a contemplative dialogue between music\, landscape and the ephemeral quality of cinema. \nShot on exquisite 35mm\, I am Micro (Shumona Goel/Shai Heredia\, 2011\, India\, 14mins\, English and Hindi with English subtitles) combines imagery from an optical factory and behind-the-scenes footage from a film production (Miss Lovely) against the memories of an experimental filmmaker (Kamal Swaroop) to deliver an ode to independent cinema.

SUMMARY:Adda: Calcutta/Kolkata
DESCRIPTION:Adda is one of those Bengali words that is so difficult to translate into English. A gossip session\, an intellectual discussion\, a never-ending conversation all rolled into one\, adda is the quintessential Bengali pastime. Following a number of ongoing addas at street corners\, cafes\, markets and living rooms\, this documentary by Surjo Deb and Ranjan Palit is a free-flowing\, intimate portrait of a city and its people in a time of transition: as malls and high-rises replace the old architecture of the skyline\, youngsters move out of the city looking for better opportunities\, the traffic gets worse and the city’s name changes from Calcutta to Kolkata. Co-director Ranjan Palit is a National Award-winning filmmaker\, whose film In Camera was showcased at 3rd i’s SFISAFF 2010.

SUMMARY:Valley of Saints
DESCRIPTION:Watch Trailer\nLyrical romance and lush cinematography intermingle in this neorealist feature debut that was a major award winner at the Sundance Film Festival. The breathtaking Dal Lake in Kashmir is a sprawling aquatic community where erupting political violence often distracts from natural beauty. Gulzar\, a young\, working-class boatman\, navigates the floating landscape and dreams of a better life. When he takes on a job assisting a Kashmiri-American scientist to collect water samples for her environmental study\, everything in his own life begins to take on a new hue. Syeed intricately weaves together contemporary ecological issues with traditional culture\, and deftly captures the unlikely romance that blossoms between the boatman and the scientist. The standout soundtrack for the film features music by Kashmiri-American band Zerobridge.
