SUMMARY:Bad\, Brown\, Bride: 3 Desi Series
DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Filmmakers in Person!\n \nSnappy\, sexy\, and seriously modern\, these three shorts series turn stereotypes about desis on their heads\, and offer modern portraits of young South Asians in America. A pilot for a TV show\, Shawn Parikh and Devanshi Patel’s Bad Indians is Will & Grace meets Catastrophe\, and is a sassy comedy about the adventures of two codependent friends living and loving in Los Angeles. Brown Girls\, the hit web series by Fatimah Ashgar and Sam Bailey which was recently picked up by HBO\, offers a candid and sex-positive look at the life of two 20-something roommates in Chicago. Ik Jagait and Palvinder Jagait’s Bullet Bride (a South Bay production) takes the hackneyed arranged marriage plot and turns it into a roller-coaster ride full of surprises. \nThe program presents a few episodes from each of these series\, introducing audiences to a whole new generation of talent\, and offering snippets from storylines and characters that’ll keep you coming back for more. The screening will be followed by a conversation around the ongoing explosion of South Asian talent on the small screen and through web series.

SUMMARY:The Cinema Travellers
DESCRIPTION:In this intimate and poetic gem\, Shirley Abraham and Amit Madheshiya capture the miracle of cinema in its purest sense\, and the timelessness of a tradition that has< existed in India for decades – the traveling tent cinema. There’s not a moment that feels forced\, resulting in both immersion and authenticity at every stage of the film. \nThe film focuses on the nomadic projectionists and technicians who roam the rural Indian countryside delivering the magic of film\, and tending to the equipment as if it were an ailing relative. It’s a disappearing trade\, however\, with the influx of digital technology and an audience ever more reliant on the small screen. \nFive years in the making\, the film debuted at the Cannes Film Festival to critical acclaim\, and should entice cinephiles with its effusive love of 20th-century celluloid splendor. \n

SUMMARY:The World of Goopi and Bagha (Goopi Gawaiya\, Bagha Bajaiya)
DESCRIPTION:Set in a world full of vibrant music and color\, Shilpa Ranade’s magical film is an animated adaptation of a cherished children’s classic\, and a remake of one of Indian master Satyajit Ray’s most beloved works. With an anti-war message at its heart\, this timeless fable premiered to great acclaim at the Toronto Film Festival. \nThe film follows the misadventures of Goopi and Bagha\, two musicians banished from their villages for their ear-splitting music. Their cacophony\, however\, enthralls the King of Ghosts\, who grants them four magical boons. Thanks to their new gifts\, Goopi and Bagha are appointed court musicians in the neighboring kingdom of Shundi\, only to be drawn in to courtly intrigue and politics. It will be up to them to use their boons (and their brains!) to prevent war between two brothers — and win the hands of two beautiful princesses. \nRanade’s imaginative and textured animation brings a unique vision to this inventive and heartwarming film full of humor\, spirit\, and kindness. \n

SUMMARY:Newton
DESCRIPTION:Amit Masurkar’s smart and engaging black comedy\, Newton\, (official selection at the Berlin Film Festival) finds humor in the tenuous nature of democracy\, a hard task on the global stage at the present. When conscientious clerk\, Newton\, is placed on election duty in the conflict-ridden “tribal” area of Chhattisgarh\, he tries his best to conduct free and fair voting despite the apathy of security forces and the looming fear of an attack by Maoist rebels. The titular role is played with sincerity and deeply felt passion by Rajkummar Rao (Queen\, Aligarh)\, a rising star on the indie scene in India. \nThe village where he must ensure that the election is carried out properly turns out to be a democratic stress-center\, where he must keep devious military personnel and oddball bureaucrats in check – even as the voters remain strangely absent. Embracing a sense of chaos and absurdity\, while remaining aware of the drama of reality\, this film asks us to question our belief in the political process\, and the power of the vote.

SUMMARY:Dance Like A Man
DESCRIPTION:One of the most successful plays on the Indian stage (by Mahesh Dattani) is adapted for the screen in this stellar cineplay\, which is co-directed by (and stars) the renowned theater actress Lilette Dubey. The play probes the surface of the characters to question their deeper motivations\, but the mode is comic rather than tragic\, even though the concerns are serious. \nThe story of Jairaj and Ratna\, two Bharatanatyam dancers past their prime\, is contrasted with that of their daughter Lata\, who is on the brink of establishing herself as a brilliant dancer. Her imminent success creates tension and jealousy\, and the audience is drawn into the dark secrets of family relationships and conflicts between generations. \nCourtesy of
