SUMMARY:Celluloid Man
DESCRIPTION:A celebration of 100 Years of Indian Cinema\, and a must-see for cinephiles and Indian history enthusiasts! Over 12\,000 films have been preserved\, since the National Film Archive of India was founded in 1964. However\, over the last 40 years\, in a culture that is apathetic to the artistic value of cinema\, the archive has grown increasingly dilapidated. Featuring interviews with the veritable who’s who of the Indian film industry\, Dungarpur creates a compelling portrait of the NFAI’s heyday and of P.K. Nair — the founder of the National Film Archive of India and a man with a passion for celluloid. \n\n \nOnline event registration for Celluloid Man 3rdifilms powered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Good Morning Karachi
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker in Person!\nSumar\, best known for her astonishing feature Silent Waters\, makes a triumphant return with this uplifting tale. Chance and willfulness propel Rafina’s rise as a fashion model in the city of Karachi. As she climbs the social ladder\, Rafina is caught between two men with very different visions for Pakistan and on the role of women. In Sumar’s deft hands\, this becomes the story of today’s Pakistan\, trying to reconcile the demands of tradition and the aspirations of modernity. The film weaves these contradictions through the very landscape of Karachi\, where political extremism and the world of fashion can – and do – co-exist. \nFollowed by: an on-stage conversation between Sumar and Anusha Rizvi (director of Peepli Live) on the changing role of women in South Asian cinema. \n  \n\n \nEvent management for Good Morning Karachi 3rdifilms powered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Big in Bollywood

When 27-year-old American-born Omi\, a struggling actor in L.A. miraculously lands a dream role in the Bollywood film 3 Idiots (2010)\, his curious friends\, armed with cameras\, fly to Mumbai to film and document his big premiere and better understand the world of Bollywood.

SUMMARY:Azhagarsamy’s Horse
DESCRIPTION:This family-friendly Tamil film mixes comedy\, romance\, melodrama and musical montage sequences to serve up a gentle satire of rural traditions and superstitions. The small village of Mallayapuram is frantic when they realize the holy wooden statue of god Azhagarsamy’s horse is missing from the local temple. When a real horse turns up soon after\, people are convinced it is the wooden horse come to life bringing luck to the drought-stricken village. However when a man named (coincidentally?) Azhagarsamy arrives claiming the horse is his\, the entire village turns topsy-turvy in this delightful comic romp. Set in the lush landscapes of the Theni Hills in Tamil Nadu\, Azhagarsamy’s Horse features a lively soundtrack that integrate folk forms with Western beats by composer Illayaraj\, and a standout performance by the unconventional leading man Appukkutty. An audience favorite at the Toronto and Chicago Film Festivals! \nPLEASE NOTE: We are sorry to inform you that the 35mm print of this film being screened at Camera12 DOES NOT HAVE English subtitles. We will provide a detailed printed plot summary for non-Tamil speakers.
