SUMMARY:Azmaish: a Journey Through the Subcontinent
DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Premier\nFollowed by a facilitated discussion on the rise of political nationalism today\, led by Taymiya R. Zaman (Associate Professor\, History\, USF) and Chris Chekuri (Associate Professor\, History/South Asia Studies\, SFSU).\nSabiha Sumar’s (Dinner with the President) inspiring and probing documentary explores the complex relationship between India and her native country Pakistan. Traveling the two nations\, Sumar and Indian actress Kalki Koechlin (Margarita with a Straw)\, witness radically changing political landscapes\, their encounters giving rise to a personal and poetic search to uncover the voices of the silent majority\, particularly those of women. \nAt home\, Sumar has candid interviews with Pakistanis from different classes and regions\, conversations where she is often the lone woman at the table. In India\, Sumar and Koechlin speak with political figures and ordinary people\, examining the rise of Hindu fundamentalism. As they despair at the decline of secular thought and the narrowing of expression they see in both nations\, they also uncover the shared humanity beyond the divisive political rhetoric. \n“An inspiring and stunning transnational journey through India and Pakistan.”\n– Cameron Bailey\, Toronto International Film Festival \n

SUMMARY:Up Down & Sideways
DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Premier\nHypnotic rhythms and complex polyphonic music reverberate through the hills of Nagaland in this ethnographic portrait of an indigenous community and their remarkable musical traditions. Directors Anushka Meenakshi and Iswar Srikumar take their camera to an alluring corner of India — the village of Phek in the northeast\, bordering with Myanmar — where people rely on rice cultivation as their primary means of subsistence. \nAs both men and women labor\, they sing Lis\, a “call and response” style of work songs. The lyrics about flirtatious love\, mischief-making\, and friendship\, echo timeless themes and mirror their relationship to the land. The title of the film derives from the belief that Li cannot be sung by a single voice\, and needs to rendered as a harmonious group that goes “up\, down and sideways”. \n“This portrait of a people with an extraordinary musical culture is lovingly filmed with an eye for detail.”\n– International Documentary Film Association \n

SUMMARY:Sir
DESCRIPTION:San Francisco Premier\nA beautifully nuanced\, sensual and insightful feature film that premiered at Cannes\, Sir delves into the spiritual and romantic connections of two people living parallel yet entirely separate lives. Rohena Gera tentatively explores the forbidden attraction between Ratna (Tillotama Shome)\, a maid\, and her employer Ashwin (Vivek Gomber)\, a wealthy Mumbai bachelor. \nThe film gains gravity for its insight into Indian social rigidities that tether both impoverished villagers and well-heeled urbanites\, with each character quietly yearning to break free from the narrow bounds of their class and gender-based expectations. \nDrawing on similarities to two other critically acclaimed films\, Lunch Box and In The Mood For Love\, Gera achieves a particular delicacy in her directing\, combining an appealing\, understated sweetness with an edge\, and thwarting all expectations and stereotypes of a typical Indian love story. \n“Gera is a female Indian director making her mark celebrating women’s empowerment against dire economic odds… her direction exudes a simple grace that transcends local issues.”\n– Variety\, Cannes Film Festival Review \n

SUMMARY:Shalom Bollywood: The Untold Story of Indian Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Featuring archival jewels from cinematic history\, Shalom Bollywood reveals the forgotten history of early Indian cinema\, when Jewish stars reigned supreme on the desi screen. Acting was a taboo profession for Hindu and Muslim women in those days\, and so the Jewish women of Bombay’s Bene Israel and Bagdadi communities took to the movies\, and catapulted into superstardom! What began with Ruby Myers — aka Sulochana\,  the first lady of Indian cinema in the 1920s — was cemented with Nadira\, the quintessential vamp in the 1960s. Following the stories of nice Jewish girls who ruled the Indian screen for over four decades\, Ben-Moshe’s entertaining and eye-opening doc includes interviews with Bollywood icons and kitschy animation\, and shows us how cinema has always been a medium for bridging cultures.  \n“Danny Ben-Moshe tells the story of four extraordinary female superstars — Sulochana\, Pramila\, Miss Rose and Nadira — as well as popular character actor David Abraham\, in a lively\, audience-friendly documentary that…is full of surprises.”\n– Deborah Young\, Hollywood Reporter \n  \n
