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: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: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: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
