SUMMARY:Shalom Bollywood: The Untold Story of Indian Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Featuring archival jewels from cinematic history\, Shalom Bollywood reveals the forgotten history of early Indian cinema\, when Jewish stars reigned supreme on the desi screen. Acting was a taboo profession for Hindu and Muslim women in those days\, and so the Jewish women of Bombay’s Bene Israel and Bagdadi communities took to the movies\, and catapulted into superstardom! What began with Ruby Myers — aka Sulochana\,  the first lady of Indian cinema in the 1920s — was cemented with Nadira\, the quintessential vamp in the 1960s. Following the stories of nice Jewish girls who ruled the Indian screen for over four decades\, Ben-Moshe’s entertaining and eye-opening doc includes interviews with Bollywood icons and kitschy animation\, and shows us how cinema has always been a medium for bridging cultures.  \n“Danny Ben-Moshe tells the story of four extraordinary female superstars — Sulochana\, Pramila\, Miss Rose and Nadira — as well as popular character actor David Abraham\, in a lively\, audience-friendly documentary that…is full of surprises.”\n– Deborah Young\, Hollywood Reporter \n  \n

SUMMARY:Sir
DESCRIPTION:San Francisco Premier\nA 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:Up Down & Sideways
DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Premier\nHypnotic rhythms and complex polyphonic music reverberate through the hills of Nagaland in this ethnographic portrait of an indigenous community and their remarkable musical traditions. Directors Anushka Meenakshi and Iswar Srikumar take their camera to an alluring corner of India — the village of Phek in the northeast\, bordering with Myanmar — where people rely on rice cultivation as their primary means of subsistence. \nAs both men and women labor\, they sing Lis\, a “call and response” style of work songs. The lyrics about flirtatious love\, mischief-making\, and friendship\, echo timeless themes and mirror their relationship to the land. The title of the film derives from the belief that Li cannot be sung by a single voice\, and needs to rendered as a harmonious group that goes “up\, down and sideways”. \n“This portrait of a people with an extraordinary musical culture is lovingly filmed with an eye for detail.”\n– International Documentary Film Association \n

SUMMARY:Azmaish: a Journey Through the Subcontinent
DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Premier\nFollowed by a facilitated discussion on the rise of political nationalism today\, led by Taymiya R. Zaman (Associate Professor\, History\, USF) and Chris Chekuri (Associate Professor\, History/South Asia Studies\, SFSU).\nSabiha Sumar’s (Dinner with the President) inspiring and probing documentary explores the complex relationship between India and her native country Pakistan. Traveling the two nations\, Sumar and Indian actress Kalki Koechlin (Margarita with a Straw)\, witness radically changing political landscapes\, their encounters giving rise to a personal and poetic search to uncover the voices of the silent majority\, particularly those of women. \nAt home\, Sumar has candid interviews with Pakistanis from different classes and regions\, conversations where she is often the lone woman at the table. In India\, Sumar and Koechlin speak with political figures and ordinary people\, examining the rise of Hindu fundamentalism. As they despair at the decline of secular thought and the narrowing of expression they see in both nations\, they also uncover the shared humanity beyond the divisive political rhetoric. \n“An inspiring and stunning transnational journey through India and Pakistan.”\n– Cameron Bailey\, Toronto International Film Festival \n

SUMMARY:Tumbbad
DESCRIPTION:A perfect post-Halloween treat with sumptuous cinematography\, this Tim Burton-esque light horror transcends its genre barriers\, opening International Critics Week at this year’s Venice Film Festival. Sohum Shah’s and Anand Gandhi’s (Ship of Theseus) gothic fantasy is set in the perpetually stormy village of Tumbbad\, where a decaying castle hides an immeasurable fortune guarded by something ancient\, sinister\, and monstrous. \nWhat starts with a few gold coins\, quickly spirals into a perpetual yearning\, spanning India’s colonial past through independence and beyond\, leading to a jaw-dropping denouement that is as sobering as it is spectacular. \n“Mad creature-feature designs\, Academy-worthy blends of color and pristine optical packaging… Tumbbad is a full genre package seasoned with a pungent foreign kick. A welcoming breed of horror that transcends barrier\, creeds\, and beliefs.”\n–Fantastic Fest Review\, Slash Film \n\n

SUMMARY:Ask the Sexpert
DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Premier\nFollowed by Skype Q&A with the filmmaker!\nEntertaining\, insightful\, and with a wry sense of humor\, Ask the Sexpert is a feature-length documentary about a highly popular 93-year-old sex advice columnist for a daily newspaper in Mumbai. Dr. Mahinder Watsa has no time to mince his words: “Why not try masturbation\, after all\, it’s harmless\,” he advises one correspondent. \nThe column’s brand of advice and humor also addresses topics like gender equality and sexual pleasure in non-moralistic terms. The need for honest and factual discussion about sex leads him to answer hundreds of emails\, and even counsel couples and strangers who arrive at his home unannounced. \nHowever\, Dr. Watsa’s lifelong commitment to sex education has made him a willing combatant against the conservative elements of Indian society that see his work as immoral. With charm and joy\, Ask The Sexpert champions the power of knowledge over ignorance. \n“As Vaishali Sinha’s (Made In India) camera cuts to a cheeky shot of fruit and veg in a local market\, there’s a sense that Ask The Sexpert is going to be an entertaining film.”\n– Screen Daily (Hot Docs Review) \n

SUMMARY:A Better Man
DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Premier\nFollowed by cross-cultural panel discussion with Reina Sandoval-Beverly (STAND!) and Firoza Dabby (Asian Pacific Institute on Gender Based Violence); Moderated by Ulash Thakore-Dunlap (The Wright Institute).\nA brave and compassionate doc\, A Better Man illuminates how important it is to dialogue\, to meet and speak with the enemy\, in order to find a way through the fears that haunt our memories. For Attiya Khan\, this happens 20 years after her abusive relationship with her then-boyfriend Steve\, when she invites him to have a conversation about their two years together. \nMade in collaboration with Toronto-based filmmaker Lawrence Jackman\, the doc intercuts Attiya’s personal narrative with a series of intimate conversations mediated by therapist Tod Augusta-Scott\, showing us how we can change the conversation on domestic abuse\, especially when men take responsibility for their actions. \nInitiated by one of the most successful documentary crowdfunding campaigns in Canadian history\, which exceeded its stated target by 50 percent\, the project is supported by public figures such as Margaret Atwood and Leslie Feist \n“Among this year’s… most emotionally stunning films\, A Better Man takes a brave and open-minded approach to processing trauma and healing.” – Hot Docs Festival \n

SUMMARY:Demons in Paradise
DESCRIPTION:West Coast Premier\nJude Ratnam’s inventive and revealing documentary takes us back into Sri Lanka’s civil war\, through his childhood memories and his family’s personal stories. Ratnam was 5 when civil war broke out in Sri Lanka\, in 1983. On a red train\, he fled the massacre of Tamils by the pro-Sinhalese majority in the northern parts of the country; now he reboards that train back up north\, in order to confront the history that haunts him. \nTraveling with his uncle\, who fought in this decades-long upheaval (and now lives in Canada)\, Ratnam digs deep to unearth the traces of war hidden in the country’s psyche — reuniting with old friends\, reliving past traumas\, and discovering the legacy of the Tamil Tigers. The scars are deep: even now\, Ratnam feels uneasy when his young son speaks Tamil in public places. \n“[Ratnam] unveils the repressed memories of his compatriots\, opening the door to a new era and making peace possible again… For the first time\, a Tamil documentary filmmaker living in Sri Lanka is seeing the Civil war from the inside.” – Cannes Film Festival \n

SUMMARY:Village Rockstars
DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Premier\nAs visually stunning as it is delightful\, Village Rockstars is a labor of love to Assam\, every frame brimming with affection. Not surprising given that writer/director Rima Das hails from Chhaygaon\, where the film is set. \nA magical coming-of-age film\, reminiscent of Satyajit Ray\, it follows the feisty young Dhunu and her frolicking band of friends\, who rock out to their styrofoam instruments and dream of becoming real musicians. When the village elders complain about Dhunu’s tomboyish ways\, her mother stands up for her\, in the film’s subtle yet radical feminist gesture. \nA not-to-be-missed offering at this year’s festival\, this feel-good indie favorite is a perfect antidote to “poverty porn.” \n“Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival\, VILLAGE ROCKSTARS has a soul and vision rare in Indian cinema today and marks Das as a major emerging filmmaker.” – IFFLA \nVillage Rockstars is India’s official entry to the Oscars 2019.\n

SUMMARY:3rd i Co-Presents with the Jewish Film Festival — Shalom Bollywood
DESCRIPTION:In the early 20th century\, the Hindu and Muslim communities of India discouraged women from appearing on the silver screen. This created an opening for aspiring actresses drawn from India’s small Jewish community\, who faced no such restrictions.In Shalom Bollywood: The Untold Story of Indian Cinema\, Danny Ben-Moshe tells the compelling tale of Jewish actresses with last names like Myers and Abraham who performed under exotic pseudonyms like Sulochana\, Miss Rose\, Pramila and Nadira. 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

But how much do we understand about how it originated\, and what makes it work? \nCAPITALISM is an ambitious and accessible six-part documentary series that looks at both the history of ideas and the social forces that have shaped the capitalist world. \nBlending interviews with some of the world’s great historians\, economists\, anthropologists\, and social critics \, with on-the-ground footage shot in twenty-two countries\, CAPITALISM questions the myth of the unfettered free market\, explores the nature of debt and commodities\, and retraces some of the great economic debates of the last 200 years. \nEpisode 1: Adam Smith\, The Birth of the Free Market\n52 min\nCapitalism is much more complex than the vision Adam Smith laid out in The Wealth of Nations. Indeed\, it predates Smith by centuries and took root in the practices of colonialism and the slave trade. \nEpisode 2: The Wealth of Nations: A New Gospel?\n52 min\nAdam Smith was both economist and moral philosopher. But his work on morality is largely forgotten\, leading to tragic distortions that have shaped our global economic system. \n\nEpisode 3: Ricardo and Malthus: Did You Say Freedom?The roots of today’s global trade agreements lie in the work of stockbroker David Ricardo and demographer Thomas Malthus. Together\, they would restructure society in the image of the market. \nEpisode 4: What If Marx Was Right?Have we gotten Marx wrong by focusing on the Communist Manifesto instead of on his critique of how capitalism works – a critique that is relevant and as penetrating as ever? \nEpisode 5: Keynes vs Hayek: A Fake Debate?The ideological divide between the philosophies of John Maynard Keynes and Friedrich Hayek has dominated economics for nearly a century. Is it time for the pendulum to swing back to Keynes? Or do we need a whole new approach that goes beyond this dualism? \nEpisode 6: Karl Polanyi\, The Human FactorAn exploration of the life and work of Karl Polanyi\, who sought to reintegrate society and economy. Could the commodification of labour and money ultimately be as disastrous as floods\, drought and earthquakes? \n\n\nCAPITALISM is an impressive series that makes economics accessible through an interdisciplinary approach that explores the work of great thinkers\, while embedding economics in specific social\, political\, and historical contexts. The series can be watched as a whole\, but each episode also stands alone. \nThe series features some of the world’s top economists\, historians\, anthropologists\, and sociologists\, including Thomas Piketty\, Noam Chomsky\, Yanis Varoufakis\, Nicholas Phillipson\, Kari Polanyi Levitt\, David Graeber\, and Abraham Rotstein and Vandana Shiva and\,Dr. Aseem Shrivastava. \nDoor 7pm \n\nMore information: www.atasite.org
