SUMMARY:The World Before Her
DESCRIPTION:Watch Trailer\nSneak Peek. Young\, beautiful\, and ambitious\, Ankita and Ruhi compete in the Miss India pageant for the chance at a career in the beauty industry\, one of the few opportunities for women to find success and empowerment in contemporary India. On the opposite end of the spectrum from Miss India is Durga Vahini\, the women’s wing of the Hindu fundamentalist movement. Nisha Pahuja’s The World Before Her dramatizes the tension between traditional and modern perspectives toward women in today’s India through the juxtaposition of these two very different outlets for girls. Initially representing the two threads as mutually exclusive worldviews\, Pahuja ultimately draws surprising parallels in the way women are perceived and the opportunities that are afforded them at both extremes\, convincingly depicting each as real sources of both oppression and empowerment. The World Before Her is a riveting\, thoughtful profile of the fundamental contradictions of a country in transition.\n– Tribeca Film Festival

SUMMARY:Alms for a Blind Horse (Anhey Ghodey Da Daan)
DESCRIPTION:Watch Trailer\nThis striking film by first-time director Gurvinder Singh uses exquisite cinematography and an unusual cast of characters to portray a day in the life of a rural Punjabi family facing the demolition of their village. Indian film legend\, the late Mani Kaul\, was the executive producer on the film and his influence can been seen throughout in the film’s use of stillness\, silences and non-naturalistic approach to narrative. A beautiful soundtrack by Los Angeles based composer Catherine Lamb accentuates the poetic performances given by the non-professional cast. Alms for a Blind Horse swept the Indian National Film awards this spring and is the first Punjabi language film to hit the festival circuit.

SUMMARY:Sket
DESCRIPTION:Watch Trailer\nSet to a pounding soundtrack of hip-hop and electronica\, this gritty thriller by director Nirpal Bhogal follows members of a girl gang in East London. After her sister is brutally attacked by Trey and his fellow gang members\, sixteen-year old Kayla casts about for ways to exact revenge. Joining a rival girl gang\, Kayla is drawn into a brutal world of initiation ceremonies and crime in order to prove her worth. Bhogal and the film’s producers were struck by accounts of rising female gang violence in recent years\, including a particularly vicious gay-bashing incident that drew comparisons to a scene from Clockwork Orange. Developed through interviews and collaboration with youth from the East London housing estates\, Sket packs a visual and narrative punch. Bhogal’s inventive take on British genre cinema won him a place on the London Film Festival’s Best Newcomer list.

SUMMARY:Coast to Coast: Home Grown Shorts
DESCRIPTION:3rd i’s shorts program goes coast-to-coast this year\, with a kaleidoscope of short films from the shores of California to New York. \nAliens\, bicycles\, Punjabi food and Sikh pride are the fodder for new music videos by Bay Area musicians and hip-hop artists: 50 Shades of Beige (Single Beige Female\, 2012\, USA\, 6 mins\, in English); The Cycle Beat (Tony Welch\, 2012\, USA\, 3.5 mins\, in English); Mandeep Sethi’s Unfilmed Fantasia (Rahat Mahajan\, 2012\, USA\, 3.5mins\, in English); Biz Kulfi’s Khala Peela (Harjot Singh\, 2012\, USA\, 3.5 mins\, in English). \nOther emerging Bay Area filmmakers include Abhi Singh and Rucha Humnabadkar: Singh’s Americanized (2012\, USA\, 4mins\, in English) is the portrait of a Sikh teenager caught between two worlds\, while Humnabadkar’s Arranged Marriage (2012\, USA\, 8mins\, in English) offers a humorous twist on immigrant identity. \nHumor is also aplenty in Fawzia Mirza and Ryan Logan’s The Queen of my Dreams (2011\, USA\, 3 mins\, in English)\, a queer send-up on 70s Bollywood. While Shazia Shrivastava’s Do Pahar (2011\, India\, 29 mins\, in Hindi with English subtitles)\, which was co-directed and co-scripted with her mother Sharifa Roy\, is a captivating drama about the beginnings of a friendship between an old woman and a hit man – one that will change both their lives forever.

SUMMARY:The Island President
DESCRIPTION:Watch Trailer\nAn inspiring\, pictorially dazzling documentary from one of the Bay Area’s most exciting filmmakers! Jon Shenk’s The Island President is the story of President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives\, a man confronting a problem greater than any other world leader has ever faced—the literal survival of his country and everyone in it. After bringing democracy to the Maldives after thirty years of despotic rule\, Nasheed is now faced with an even greater challenge: as one of the most low-lying countries in the world\, a rise of three feet in sea level would submerge the 1200 islands of the Maldives enough to make them uninhabitable. The film follows Nasheed during his first year in office\, culminating with a stirring speech given at the Copenhagen Climate Summit in 2009. Just this February\, Nasheed was forced out of office in a coup d’etat\, lending this film an unusual timeliness and poignancy.
