SUMMARY:TIKTOK\, BOOM
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be a digital native? TIKTOK\, BOOM dissects one of the most influential platforms of the contemporary social media landscape. Directed by CODED BIAS filmmaker Shalini Kantayya\, the film keenly examines the algorithmic\, sociopolitical\, economic\, and cultural influences and impact of the history-making app. This rigorous exploration balances a genuine interest in the TikTok community and its innovative mechanics with a healthy skepticism around the security issues\, global political challenges\, and racial biases behind the platform. A cast of Gen Z subjects\, including influencer Feroza Aziz and beatboxer Spencer X – the son of an Ecuadorian immigrant father and a first-generation Asian-American mother – remains at its center\, making this one of the most needed and empathetic films exploring what it means to be a digital native. \nWith this new director’s cut\, Kantayya\, an Emmy-nominated Sundance Fellow\, continues her engagement in the space where technology meets\, amplifies\, and opposes our humanity. Her incisive\, current look at the power and complexity of tech continues to advance a conversation that is bettered by her careful stewardship. \nNominated – Sundance Film Festival\, Grand Jury Prize\n

SUMMARY:KATHAL (JACKFRUIT)
DESCRIPTION:Click above for FREE tickets! Preceded by short film DOS BROS FORCE. \nKATHAL (Jackfruit)\, directed by Amit Ashraf\, is a fun\, quirky\, and enjoyable comedy for the whole family. At its core\, KATHAL is a creative and exuberant story about the adventures of two mischievous kids\, but on its edges\, the film is an enlightening satire around class and gender discrimination. \nTwo kids from the wrong side of the tracks sneak into a posh gated community to try and steal the world’s largest jackfruit. The kids’ getaway is blocked when they learn the fruit is too big to be pulled through the escape hole\, and they are forced instead to try and sell the jackfruit to the eccentric residents. What started as a simple playful heist turns into an adventure that tests their friendship. \nDirector Amit Ashraf gave the recipe for making KATHAL: Mix “some childish mischief from THE LITTLE RASCALS\, add gems of truths revealed by each strange encounter from THE LITTLE PRINCE\, and spin it all together in RICK AND MORTY creator Dan Harmon’s famous story circle\, and voila! KATHAL takes shape.” Ashraf is a 3rd i Fest alum (UDHAO)\, and also runs a film company dedicated to making children’s content. \nWINNER – Ahmedabad International Children’s Film Festival\, Best Story \nWINNER – Cannes World Film Festival\, Best Comedy\n  \nDOS BROS FORCE\, Jyothi Kalyan Sura (USA\, 2022\, 15 min)\nAn adorable and loving tale set in Los Angeles\, 1996\, about the Sura family\, a financially struggling Indian immigrant household. For her 9th birthday\, peppy little Isha has only one wish – to get $12 dollars to play video games. Unable to convince her parents\, she devises an ingenious plan with her 11-year-old brother to raise money. The innocent act will change their lives forever. \nWINNER – FilmGood\, Best Short Film\nWINNER – Canadian Cinematography Awards\, Best Short Film\n

SUMMARY:JOYLAND
DESCRIPTION:JOYLAND is a visually gorgeous and subversive family drama set in the bustling megacity of Lahore\, Pakistan. Pressured to earn his own salary\, soft-spoken house husband Haider is hired to perform in an erotic dance show. He’s attracted to the lead performer\, an irrepressible trans woman named Alina Khan\, and their relationship takes unpredictable turns. \nThis striking feature upends traditional gender roles and identities through a story of complex and imperfect expressions of love.
