SUMMARY:A NIGHT OF KNOWING NOTHING
DESCRIPTION:Payal Kapadia’s documentary film\, A NIGHT OF KNOWING NOTHING\, is a brilliant\, dreamlike\, poetic exploration of the political and social changes occurring in India. \nThrough a series of letters read aloud to an absent lover\, we learn about the fears\, desires\, and philosophical identity of a young woman named L\, a student at the Film and Television Institute of India. Through these reflective words\, along with a variety of documentary images and an evocative music score\, writer-director Payal Kapadia has constructed an astonishing fragmentary work that witnesses India’s resurgent extreme nationalism. \nA NIGHT OF KNOWING NOTHING is a poetic testament to the inseparability of life\, film\, politics\, and dreams\, while functioning as an essential portrait of the ongoing struggle of resistance. \nThe film quotes Milan Kundera’s observation\, “The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.” Kapadia added\, “We wanted the film to have a feeling of timelessness. Almost like the viewer is in the future\, and looking back at this time. Maybe it is easier to gain perspective when one looks back at the past. \nWinner – Cannes Film Festival\, Golden Eye\, Best Documentary Award\nWinner – Toronto International Film Festival Amplify Voices Award \nWinner – Indian Film Festival of Melbourne\, Best Documentary Award\n  \n

SUMMARY:BANGLA SURF GIRLS
DESCRIPTION:BANGLA SURF GIRLS\, directed by Elizabeth D. Costa\, is an inspiring and immersive documentary that takes us into the heart of Cox’s Bazar\, a beach town in Bangladesh\, where we witness the transformation of young girls who join a local surf club and dream of freedom from traditional expectations. \nThe memorable\, educational and heartfelt storyline of the film intimately captures the raw emotions of the family\, and the complex pressures on poor\, working-class girls. Balancing the freedom of the waves with the restrictive realities of their circumstances\, the film allows us to experience the thrill and struggle of coming of age. SURF GIRLS will have you rooting for the young women each time they overcome a wave or hurdle. \nDirector Elizabeth D. Costa is a first-time Bangladeshi filmmaker who honed her career as a script supervisor for Tareque and Catherine Masud (THE CLAY BIRD\, 2002 Cannes Film Festival). The film is written and produced by Lalita Krishna. \nWINNER – Portuguese Film Festival\, Women in Surf Award\nWINNER – Paris Surf & Skateboard Film Festival\, Best Surf Documentary Award\n\nWINNER – Bushwick Film Festival New York\, Best Feature Documentary Award

SUMMARY:THE GOLDEN THREAD
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Nishtha Jain in person!\nBay Area Premiere\nA visually spectacular and symphonic ode to manual labor and the jute factories of West Bengal\, India. THE GOLDEN THREAD documentary\, directed by 3rd i alum and multi-award-winning filmmaker Nishtha Jain (GULABI GANG\, LAKSHMI AND ME)\, with its magical long takes and beautifully composed shots\, fully immerses the audience into the world of the golden fiber or jute. \nThe film shifts from the jute fields of West Bengal to weaving in gigantic mills where the fiber is processed\, and where not much has changed since the industrial revolution. As Jain mentions\, “powered by steam and sweat\, work is a dance to the rhythms of the century-old machines”. And in between scenes\, we meet the workers on their lunch breaks\, smoking ganja to keep going\, and singing at night while dreaming of becoming movie stars. \n“My stories are complex\,” Jain says of her films\, “They lie in the gray. (THE GOLDEN THREAD) is not just a one-line story. It’s about jute. It’s about this factory. It’s about the ecosystem. It’s about factories being made obsolete. It’s about how these factories work\, and the people (who work in them).” \nSpecial Mention – DOXA Documentary Film Festival\, Feature Documentary Award\nNominated – Munich International Documentary Film Festival\, Viktor Award

SUMMARY:AGRA
DESCRIPTION:Fasten your seatbelts and proceed with caution\, the new arthouse film AGRA\, from 3rd i alum Kanu Behl (TITLI)\, which opened to rave reviews at the Cannes Film Festival\, is an audacious and riveting film that looks into Indian family dynamics\, patriarchy\, and sexual frustration within limited physical space in metropolitan homes in India. \nGuru\, a young man in his twenties\, works in a call center in Agra and falls in love with Mala\, a work colleague. However\, he still lives with his parents. And when Guru announces that he wants to marry Mala and have her move into the house\, nothing goes as planned. \nKanu Behl skillfully uses AGRA to explore sexual repression through vivid sexual imagery and to examine dysfunction and physical space. And how the lack of space\, in a country of over a billion\, affects the way people live their lives. The film is captivating and intense\, but not for the faint of heart. \nPREMIERED – Director’s Fortnight section at the Cannes Film Festival to a standing ovation \nWINNER – Indian Film Festival Of Melbourne\, Best Indie Film Award & Best Actor\, Mohit Agarwal
