SUMMARY:Documentary Film Screening: "Reason"
DESCRIPTION:Reason/Vivek\nby Anand Patwardhan \nIn what is perhaps his most urgent and thorough exploration of Indian society yet\, renowned documentarian Anand Patwardhan charts his country’s slide away from secular democracy and toward divisions of power\, caste\, and religious belief — and the violence that has followed. \nReason is not an easy film to watch\, nor should it be. The film denounces — and depicts — violence perpetrated or fueled by religious nationalists pushing to make India a Hindu state. As Reason builds and expands toward its conclusion\, the scale of the dangers India faces becomes clear\, and connections are made between the country’s inner conflicts and the similar political fires burning all over the world. Even with countless people of conscience offering resistance\, the film ends with yet one more assassination. This time it is a journalist. \nAnand Patwardhan is one of India’s most respected documentary filmmakers\, known for his socio-political\, human rights-oriented films. Reason/Vivek\, his most recent film\, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2018 and won the Best Feature-Length Documentary at the 31st International Documentary Film Festival in Amsterdam in November 2018. \nModerated by Usha Iyer\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Art and Art History\, Stanford University \nEvent Sponsor:\nCenter for South Asia\, Stanford Humanities Center\, Office of the Vice President for the Arts\, Abbasi Program in Islamic Studies\, Department of Art and Art History (Film and Media Studies\, MFA in Documentary Film)\, 3rd i Films

SUMMARY:Sir
DESCRIPTION:A 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:Bangla
DESCRIPTION:West Coast Premiere\nIn this playful romantic comedy\, Bangla\, Phaim\, an awkwardly charming 22-year-old Italian-Bengali\, panics when he falls in love with an impulsive and spirited Italian girl. The attraction between them is immediate\, and Phaim will have to figure out how to reconcile his love with his life full of rules. \nEchoing the best of recent cinema hit The Big Sick\, the film takes its own unique look at the multicultural experiences of second generation South Asian Europeans in the Italian context\, and specifically of those living in Rome. The narrative\, which puts a whimsical lens on the clash of cultures as an everyday reality for many second-generation immigrants\, is based on the director’s own life\, who as the lead plays a fictionalized version of himself. \nHighlighted in Rotterdam’s International Film Festival in the Big screen competition section and recently screening at the Chicago Film Festival\, Bangla brings in a fresh new voice and pioneer of a new generation of Italian filmmakers. \n

SUMMARY:The MisEducation of Bindu
DESCRIPTION:Palo Alto Premiere\nFilmmaker Prarthana Mohan in Person!!\nThis coming-of-age comedy coming straight from Mill Valley Film Festival will resonate with viewers both young\, old and in between. The Miseducation of Bindu follows a day in the life of a painfully bright but awkward 15-year-old Bindu\, who endures high school and tries to graduate early.  \nHer mother (Priyanka Bose\, Lion) does her best to keep Bindu on track while maintaining her Indian heritage\, and her clueless stepfather (David Arquette\, Scream)\, tries to give Bindu advice on boys and high school life in America. Paying homage to Bollywood rock with one fantastical Bollywood dance number\, Bindu dreams about escaping and longs for her home in India. The film shines a light on the immigrant experience of a teenager caught between girlhood and womanhood\, and India’s traditional past and the promise of a global future where she can blend in to be whomever she wants to be. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Chippa
DESCRIPTION:SF Bay Area Premiere\nWinner of the Best Child Actor award for Sunny Pawar at the New York Indian\, DFW South Asian and Ottawa Indian Festivals\nThis humorous and entertaining film is the heartwarming story of Chippa (Sunny Pawar\, award-winning child star of Lion) who\, on his tenth birthday\, armed with a letter he can’t read\, sets out into night-time Calcutta looking for a father he has never seen. \nWhat he finds is a city of migrants who speak in a curious mix of languages\, play late night football\, and drive crazy taxis with roof gardens. It is not an everyday Calcutta that emerges\, but a “marvelous realism” that is akin to the works of literary giants such as Salman Rushdie and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. \nChippa is not oblivious to the grim reality and communal suspicion surrounding him\, but chooses to encounter this world with a mixture of bravado\, curiosity and humor. Seen through his eyes\, the road ahead is not bleak but full of adventure\, surprises – and above all – hope.\n“Then a film like Chippa comes by\, a filmmaker like Rahman comes by\, to tell us… over and over again\, that we are what our shared histories make us\, and our histories\, as Rushdie says\, ‘are\, despite everything\, acts of love.’” – Bedatri Choudhary\, First Post \n

SUMMARY:Cat Sticks
DESCRIPTION:Skype Q&A With Ronny Sen!!\nSF Bay Area Premiere\nOfficial Selection\, Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles & Slamdance Film Festival\, 2019\, and Winner of the International Narrative Feature Jury Award\, Mammoth Lakes Film Festival\, 2019\nA gorgeous and haunting debut film by acclaimed black-and-white photographer Ronny Sen\, this raw and gritty narrative follows the stories of several addicts looking for the high of halogen\, a synthetic brand of heroin that created havoc in India at the turn of the millenium. Composed of several thematically connected stories that occur over the course of one rain drenched night in Kolkata\, the film is not shy to show us the stark brutality of life\, whilst also managing to find the beauty in it. \nDrawing from his personal familiarity with the world of addiction\, Sen foregrounds the human connections between these addicted and forgotten souls\, uncannily replicating the intoxication its characters feel while masterfully immersing us in this world with great sensitivity and style.\nThe film’s bewitching score works in tandem with the mesmerizing imagery – in lush monochrome and grey silhouettes\, to create a work that is a must-see on the big screen! \n“Cat Sticks is one of the most gorgeous and affecting films Slamdance has presented in recent memory.” – Paul Sbrizzi\, Slamdance Film Festival \n

SUMMARY:American Hasi
DESCRIPTION:Comedian Tushar Singh in person!!\nWest Coast Premiere\nOfficial Selection\, New York Comedy & Chicago South Asian Festivals\, 2019\nEqual parts comedy\, awkward moments\, and self-discovery\, Laura Asherman’s intimate doc is a portrait of a comedian at the crossroads of his life and career. After losing his day job\, Tushar Singh decides to pursue stand-up comedy full-time\, drawing from his own personal experience of growing up as the son of Indian immigrants in a predominantly white neighborhood of Huntsville\, Alabama. \nIn an attempt to accelerate his career\, Singh maps out a 35-day tour in India (with his mom in tow)\, taking part in India’s flourishing stand-up scene. In the process of making audiences laugh through his self-deprecating (occasionally taboo) humor\, he discovers the challenges of cross-cultural comedy\, and faces his relationship with India head-on. Part verité road trip\, part character study\, this refreshingly candid doc features interviews with influential comics such as Russell Peters\, Bill Burr\, and Vir Das. \n“American Hasi is a funny and delightfully awkward story that captures the struggles of the brave few who try to make a living out of their creative passion.” – Laughing Skull Comedy Festival \n

SUMMARY:Bulbul Can Sing
DESCRIPTION:SF Bay Area Premiere\nOfficial Selection\, Berlin & Melbourne International Festivals\, Winner of Best Director Award at Dublin International and Best Film\, Prag Cine Awards\, 2019\nFollowing on the heels of last year’s magical Village Rockstars\, Rima Das takes us back to the timeless beauty of the northeast in this bittersweet narrative that draws inspiration from her own experiences of growing up in the Assamese countryside. This is no simple rural idyll however; in Das’ deft hands\, the film transforms into a deeply compelling exploration of love\, loss\, and adolescence. \nThree friends struggle to find their own identities\, and to fight back against age-old traditions and parental expectations in this heartfelt and authentic coming-of-age story. Burgeoning with the mischief\, curiosity and the exuberance of youth\, the girls – Bulbul and Bonnie – risk their reputations chasing first-time romances\, while the boy – Sumu – is ostracized for not conforming to gender expectations. Das treats the young protagonists with great insight and respect\, capturing their journeys towards self-awareness with a sensitivity reminiscent of Satyajit Ray. \n“Das recounts her story in the pure language of cinema… As [Bulbul] learns to walk with both love and death in her life\, countless variations of natural light give her whole world an immersive glow.” – Cameron Bailey\, Toronto Film Festival \n  \n

SUMMARY:3rd i is Proud to Co-present "Transfinite" at Frameline43
DESCRIPTION:Director Neelu Bhuman’s Transfinite is a collection of seven locally-shot science-fiction/fantasy short films. Rich with symbolism\, the seven stories in this anthology film feature supernatural trans and queer people\, from many different cultures\, who use magic and supernatural powers to love\, teach\, fight\, and thrive. \nNajma’s new lover is fearful about telling his best friend that he’s in love with a transwoman–and when the friend reacts transphobically\, her supernatural powers reveal themselves. Love vanquishes a demon who has possessed the hand of a warrior. Shayla converts a building developer into an environmentalist. Neruda’s oceanic love and Bahari’s expansive poetry are a border-smashing combination. With the help of her best friend\, Nova protects herself from bullies. Falling in love expands Orchid Mango Blu’s world. And Honey casts a celestial spell on a dirty politician. \nA cast of LGBTQ+ actors skillfully bring the stories to life\, while beautiful animation and thoughtful cinematography unite the collection—even though\, as the film’s tagline says\, trans identities are “as limitless as nature itself.” \nDIRECTOR: Neelu Bhuman\n2019  | USA\, UK\, India  | 70m  \nVictoria theater Tuesday June 25\, 2019\n6:45 PM \nLandmark Theaters Piedmont Thursday June 27\, 2019\n9:15 PM \nFor more information: https://www.frameline.org/festival/film-guide/transfinite

SUMMARY:3rd i Co-presents “SHIRAZ” at the Roxie
DESCRIPTION:An astonishing treasure of the silent cinema\, Shiraz is an ambitious and elegant film that takes creative license with the story of the life and death of the 17th-century Mumtaz Mahal (Enakshi Rama Rau)\, the Mughal empress whose early demise inspired her husband to construct the Taj Mahal. Inventing a backstory involving bandits\, slavers\, and nobility-in-disguise\, the film narrative give us a robust romantic adventure\, filled with teeming crowd scenes and location shots that double as invaluable documentary. \nShot entirely on location in India\, it features lavish costumes and gorgeous settings — all the more impressive in this restoration by the BFI Na-tional Archive\, which features a specially commissioned score by the Grammy Award-nominated Anoushka Shankar. \nProduced by and starring Indian film legend Himansu Rai\, the film is performed by an all-Indian cast\, featuring Rai as humble potter Shiraz\, who follows his childhood sweetheart Selima (Enakshi Rama Rau) when she’s sold by slave traders to the future emperor (Charu Roy).

SUMMARY:3rd i Co-Presents with the Jewish Film Festival — Shalom Bollywood
DESCRIPTION:In the early 20th century\, the Hindu and Muslim communities of India discouraged women from appearing on the silver screen.

Products of the Baghdadi Jewish and India’s Bene Israel communities\, these women rose from obscurity to become early trailblazers in India’s film industry and national celebrities. Featuring interviews with descendants as well as making imaginative use of archival film footage\, animation and a true Bollywood soundtrack\, Ben-Moshe highlights how these female cinematic pioneers carved their own paths in Bollywood. \nThursday\, July 26th 12:10 pm – CineArts Palo Alto\nSaturday\, August 4th\, 11:30 am – Smith Rafael\, Marin\nSunday\, August 5th 12:15 pm – Piedmont Theater  \nFor more information:\nhttps://jfi.org/sfjff-2018/film-guide/shalom-bollywood-the-untold-history-of-indian-cinema
