SUMMARY:3rd i Co-Presents with the Jewish Film Festival — Shalom Bollywood

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

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 “Kattumarum’’ at Frameline 43
DESCRIPTION:In a small village ravaged by a tsunami\, Singaram works as a fisherman to care for his orphaned niece and nephew. Despite her uncle’s tireless bids to find a groom for her\, Anandhi rejects all efforts to get her married off\, instead focusing on her work as a schoolteacher. When a new photography instructor named Kavita arrives at the school\, Anandhi finds an instant connection with her. As their friendship begins to blossom into something more\, Anandhi must face her feelings and the consequences they will bring in this conservative society. \nKattumaram is a heartfelt look at the strength of community in rural India\, showcasing the importance of tradition along with the need for evolution. Filmmaker Swarnavel Eswaran’s previous documentary work focusing on social justice informs the film throughout. Eswaran balances politics with aesthetics\, making Kattumaram a beautiful and genuine experience.

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: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: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
