SUMMARY:Gaalibeeja (Wind Seed)
DESCRIPTION:(Babu Eshwar Prasad\, India\, 2015\, 96mins) A unique cinematic experience\, Gaalibeeja is a visually arresting meditation on cinema and modernity by artist-turned-filmmaker Babu Eshwar Prasad–an exciting new voice in Kannada-language cinema. \nPrakash\, a civil engineer by day and a cinephile by night\, lives on the road\, traveling to inspect his many projects. His encounters along the way–a peddler of pirated DVDs\, a farmer at a highway bus stop\, and a labourer on his bicycle–form the backbone of this idiosyncratic film. \nWhile the paths of these diverse characters intersect and interrupt one another\, it becomes clear that they each live in a vastly different time and space–one that is shaped by class and access to progress. While paying homage to the likes of Wim Wenders\, Jim Jarmusch\, and Abbas Kiarostami\, Prasad blends social critique with exquisite cinematic form in his take on the “road movie.”

SUMMARY:Korla
DESCRIPTION:Followed by panel discussion!!\n(John Turner and Eric Christensen\, USA\, 2015\, 78mins) In Hollywood there are many secrets\, but only a few last a lifetime — now Korla’s can be revealed! As multifaceted as the sparkling jewel he wore on his turban\, spiritual seeker Korla Pandit was a television pioneer and a godfather of the exotica music genre. From 1949\, first in Los Angeles and subsequently in San Francisco\, this self-described son of a Brahmin priest from New Delhi performed on TV daily while staring silently and dreamily into the camera. \nIn the 1950s he charmed American housewives\, and decades later he would emerge as a cult figure while playing at clubs populated by Los Angeles tiki-lounge-loving hipsters. Often pegged as a “man of mystery\,” Korla lived up to that billing when he took an amazing secret with him to his grave in 1998. \nWhat lay behind Korla’s metaphysical musings\, his cult status\, and his Indian enigmatic facade? Find out in this fascinating and exotic tour through Pandit’s dizzying life. \n \nKorla – Trailer from Appleberry Pictures on Vimeo.

SUMMARY:Lala Begum
DESCRIPTION:(Mehreen Jabbar\, Pakistan/India\, 2016\, 58mins) Starring legendary Pakistani actress Marina Khan (Tanhaiyan)\, and directed by 3rd i alumna Mehreen Jabbar (Ramchand Pakistani)\, Lala Begum is a complex and impressive drama that delves into the ghosts of Pakistan’s past. \nIt is the 1970s. Two estranged sisters Meher (aka Lala Begum) and Seher come to terms with their haunting past: the loves they shared\, the sacrifices they made\, and their struggles with the colonial heritage that defines their lives. What happens when after 20 years of estrangement\, both the sisters are forced to have a face-to-face confrontation and try to move forward? \nEvocative\, dramatic and endearing\, Lala Begum is part of Zeal for Unity\, a series of films for TV envisioned as a cultural exchange program between Pakistan and India. As Mehreen says\, this is “one of the strongest and most effective ways of promoting understanding and respect while learning from what we can offer each other.”

SUMMARY:Original Copy
DESCRIPTION:(Florian Heinzen-Ziob & Georg Heinzen\, India/Germany\, 2015\, 52mins) Set in a crumbling cinema palace in Mumbai Central\, Original Copy is a charming portrait of artist and guru Sheikh Rehman–one of the last hand-painters of colorful Bollywood posters\, packed with romance and action. \nThis intimate doc provides a window into a world in transition: while Rehman cajoles his team into hand-painting unique billboards every week\, modernity is taking over. Today’s films are publicized on plastic posters\, and audiences are swarming to multiplexes. Rehman is the keeper of a disappearing artform\, but he won’t give up. Neither will the theater’s owner Najma\, valuing history and heritage over profits. \nUltimately\, this exemplary and insightful doc is about the magic of cinema\, its power to forge culture and community\, and the changing face of India’s film industry. \n \nORIGINAL COPY / trailer from Florian Heinzen-Ziob on Vimeo.

SUMMARY:Between the Lines
DESCRIPTION:BY POPULAR DEMAND\, We have added a 9:15 Screening – tickets are available on Eventbrite:\n\nPLEASE NOTE: Online tickets for 7:15pm screening are sold out. Your best bet is the RUSH LINE at the venue which will open 45 minutes prior to showtime. \nSkype Q&A with Nandita Das and Subodh Maskara following 7:15pm screening!\n(Ritesh Menon\, India\, 2015\, 79mins) Nandita Das\, one of India’s finest actresses\, writes and stars in this stellar and pioneering cineplay–a new genre that adapts the stage for the screen. Shekhar is a high-profile criminal lawyer\, while Maya balances work and life\, drafting routine contracts for a law firm. As destiny would have it\, they end up arguing on opposite sides of a criminal trial\, resulting in the blurring of their personal and professional lives. \nCo-written with Divya Jagdale\, Between the Lines strikes a delicate balance between theater and cinematic realism. Das and her co-star Subodh Maskara give superlative performances\, displaying great range and versatility\, and bringing a natural chemistry to their on-screen relationship–which is hardly surprising since they are married in real life! \nThe nuanced script is never dull or preachy\, instead it makes its statement subtly yet fearlessly\, exploring the grey areas between tradition and modernity to examine how gender inequality cuts across class lines in an increasingly urban India. \n\nCopresented with EnActe Arts.
