SUMMARY:Demons in Paradise
DESCRIPTION:West Coast Premier\nJude Ratnam’s inventive and revealing documentary takes us back into Sri Lanka’s civil war\, through his childhood memories and his family’s personal stories. Ratnam was 5 when civil war broke out in Sri Lanka\, in 1983. On a red train\, he fled the massacre of Tamils by the pro-Sinhalese majority in the northern parts of the country; now he reboards that train back up north\, in order to confront the history that haunts him. \nTraveling with his uncle\, who fought in this decades-long upheaval (and now lives in Canada)\, Ratnam digs deep to unearth the traces of war hidden in the country’s psyche — reuniting with old friends\, reliving past traumas\, and discovering the legacy of the Tamil Tigers. The scars are deep: even now\, Ratnam feels uneasy when his young son speaks Tamil in public places. \n“[Ratnam] unveils the repressed memories of his compatriots\, opening the door to a new era and making peace possible again… For the first time\, a Tamil documentary filmmaker living in Sri Lanka is seeing the Civil war from the inside.” – Cannes Film Festival \n

SUMMARY:A Better Man
DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Premier\nFollowed by cross-cultural panel discussion with Reina Sandoval-Beverly (STAND!) and Firoza Dabby (Asian Pacific Institute on Gender Based Violence); Moderated by Ulash Thakore-Dunlap (The Wright Institute).\nA brave and compassionate doc\, A Better Man illuminates how important it is to dialogue\, to meet and speak with the enemy\, in order to find a way through the fears that haunt our memories. For Attiya Khan\, this happens 20 years after her abusive relationship with her then-boyfriend Steve\, when she invites him to have a conversation about their two years together. \nMade in collaboration with Toronto-based filmmaker Lawrence Jackman\, the doc intercuts Attiya’s personal narrative with a series of intimate conversations mediated by therapist Tod Augusta-Scott\, showing us how we can change the conversation on domestic abuse\, especially when men take responsibility for their actions. \nInitiated by one of the most successful documentary crowdfunding campaigns in Canadian history\, which exceeded its stated target by 50 percent\, the project is supported by public figures such as Margaret Atwood and Leslie Feist \n“Among this year’s… most emotionally stunning films\, A Better Man takes a brave and open-minded approach to processing trauma and healing.” – Hot Docs Festival \n

SUMMARY:Ask the Sexpert
DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Premier\nFollowed by Skype Q&A with the filmmaker!\nEntertaining\, insightful\, and with a wry sense of humor\, Ask the Sexpert is a feature-length documentary about a highly popular 93-year-old sex advice columnist for a daily newspaper in Mumbai. Dr. Mahinder Watsa has no time to mince his words: “Why not try masturbation\, after all\, it’s harmless\,” he advises one correspondent. \nThe column’s brand of advice and humor also addresses topics like gender equality and sexual pleasure in non-moralistic terms. The need for honest and factual discussion about sex leads him to answer hundreds of emails\, and even counsel couples and strangers who arrive at his home unannounced. \nHowever\, Dr. Watsa’s lifelong commitment to sex education has made him a willing combatant against the conservative elements of Indian society that see his work as immoral. With charm and joy\, Ask The Sexpert champions the power of knowledge over ignorance. \n“As Vaishali Sinha’s (Made In India) camera cuts to a cheeky shot of fruit and veg in a local market\, there’s a sense that Ask The Sexpert is going to be an entertaining film.”\n– Screen Daily (Hot Docs Review) \n

SUMMARY:Tumbbad
DESCRIPTION:A perfect post-Halloween treat with sumptuous cinematography\, this Tim Burton-esque light horror transcends its genre barriers\, opening International Critics Week at this year’s Venice Film Festival. Sohum Shah’s and Anand Gandhi’s (Ship of Theseus) gothic fantasy is set in the perpetually stormy village of Tumbbad\, where a decaying castle hides an immeasurable fortune guarded by something ancient\, sinister\, and monstrous. \nWhat starts with a few gold coins\, quickly spirals into a perpetual yearning\, spanning India’s colonial past through independence and beyond\, leading to a jaw-dropping denouement that is as sobering as it is spectacular. \n“Mad creature-feature designs\, Academy-worthy blends of color and pristine optical packaging… Tumbbad is a full genre package seasoned with a pungent foreign kick. A welcoming breed of horror that transcends barrier\, creeds\, and beliefs.”\n–Fantastic Fest Review\, Slash Film \n\n
