SUMMARY:OM SHANTI OM
DESCRIPTION:Bollywood at the Castro!!\n\nServing up a dazzling array of musical showstoppers and cameos by nearly every Bollywood star\, Om Shanti Om is a blockbuster extravaganza for the ages. Director Farah Khan pulls out all the stops to squeeze in comedy\, melodrama\, action\, and suspense in a masala mix of epic proportions. \nOm Prakash (played by the irrepressible and iconic Shah Rukh Khan) dreams of becoming a star while swooning over Shanti (Deepika Padukone)\, the top starlet of the day. Their budding friendship\, however\, meets a tragic end at the hands of Shanti’s nefarious producer-husband. Not to worry though\, for thirty years later\, Om is reincarnated as superstar Om Kapoor\, who seeks to avenge Shanti’s killing. \nAt once a parody of and homage to the unbridled\, anything-goes exuberance of Hindi musicals from the ‘70s\, Om Shanti Om even references such Western classics as Singin’ in the Rain and Phantom of the Opera. Come celebrate 3rd i’s fifteenth anniversary with this retro fantasia\, which is Bollywood entertainment at its spectacular best!

SUMMARY:An Insignificant Man
DESCRIPTION:Followed by panel discussion\n\nDubbed the ”Bernie Sanders of India”\, Arvind Kejriwal shook up the the status quo of the Indian political system with his Aam Aadmi Party (Common Man’s Party) in the last national election. This revolutionary shift in India’s mainstream political establishment is exposed in this gripping and unwavering doc. \nSupported by the Sundance Film Institute and official selection at the Toronto Film Festival\, this insightful political thriller is an on-the-ground look into the political system of the largest democracy in the world\, a country with 29 official languages and 1.3 billion people. Directors Khushboo Ranka and Vinay Shukla train their lens on inequality\, corruption\, and the power of elites\, to highlight the democratic principles at stake in India and around the world. Fittingly enough\, the film has recently been in a censorship controversy in India. \nThe screening will be followed by a panel discussion to help navigate the complex political terrain of India\, and to bring a global context to discussions of democracy and free speech.

SUMMARY:NARI: The Unsung Story of the Women from India's First Family of Music
DESCRIPTION:Followed by Q&A\n \nIn this unique live performance\, accomplished musician and composer for film Gingger Shankar celebrates the life and work of her mother (Viji Shankar) and grandmother (Lakshmi Shankar). Hailing from India’s first family of music\, and renowned artists in their own right\, they helped bring Indian music to the West in the 1970s through their close collaborations with Ravi Shankar and George Harrison (The Beatles). \nIn Sanskrit\, “nari” means both “woman” and “sacrifice.” As female artists trying to establish themselves in a male-dominated field\, Lakshmi and Viji understood this only too well. They fought to overcome numerous challenges in both their artistic and personal lives as they found themselves catapulted from conservative Indian culture into the stratosphere of American rock n’roll. Official selection at both the Toronto and Sundance film festivals\, this multimedia program blends archival sound recordings\, film footage\, and never-before-seen family photos\, to uncover a hidden musical herstory. Featured on the double violin\, Shankar is accompanied by bandmates Vivek Maddala and Rob Amjarv. \nShankar has worked with some of the top musicians\, producers and film composers in the industry\, including The Smashing Pumpkins\, Trent Reznor\, Mike Nichols\, James Newton Howard\, and Katy Perry. Maddala is an award- winning composer and performer\, having scored over 40 productions\, with recent premieres at the Cannes\, Toronto\, Berlin\, Venice\, and Sundance film festivals. \n \n  \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Gurgaon
DESCRIPTION:Stylish and edgy\, with a deep\, dark twist\, Gurgaon is a neo-noir (a la Anurag Kashyap) based on the true life story of a kidnapping gone awry\, in the shiny outer reaches of the fast growing Delhi metropolis. Kehri Singh awaits the day when his daughter Preet will return from her studies abroad and take over the real estate business named in her honor. Her brother Nikki Singh\, however\, is not so pleased. Feeling emasculated by her success\, Nikki simmers and broods\, edging his family towards an explosive denouement\, and forcing Kehri Singh to confront a dark secret in the recesses of his past. \nRaman delves deep into the psychology of his characters\, fleshing out an extremely compelling story that keeps the twists and turns coming — each one completely believable and integral to the plot. A cautionary tale against the the caustic logic that drives patriarchy\, and the predatory and corrupt ecosystem that undergirds material success\, this unassuming tour-de-force reminds us of the consequences of pursuing economic prosperity at all costs.

SUMMARY:Random Acts of Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker via Skype\n \nIn this gorgeous\, multi-layered documentary about immigration and integration\, Ali Kazimi brilliantly weaves a rich tapestry of history and memory to offer an unusual portrait of a family of color in middle America.  \nFor many minorities\, home movies used to be a luxury\, and their rare existence lends insight into personal lives otherwise omitted from moving image history. When Kazimi (who has been rescuing these orphaned and decaying home movies) found himself in an online bidding war for film footage from 1936 to 1951\, he knew he had stumbled upon a rare artifact.  \nA 3rd i alumnus\, Kazimi is well-known for his outstanding doc\, A Continuous Journey\, which chronicles the history of Sikh migration to Canada. Set in Chicago between the Great Depression and the post-war era\, this award-winning film peeks into the everyday life of a commercial artist and his trailblazing wife\, to reveal the experiences of a first-generation Chinese family in America.

SUMMARY:3rd i's San Francisco International South Asian Film Festival 2017
DESCRIPTION:November 9-12\, New People Cinema and Castro Theatre\, San Francisco\nNovember 18\, BlueLight Cinema\, Cupertino \nCome celebrate 3rd i’s fifteenth anniversary this year\, as the annual SF International South Asian Film Festival presents some of the best cinema from India\, Pakistan\, Bangladesh\, Canada\, Australia\, and the USA. This year’s festival captures the political zeitgeist of our times\, offering reflections on the democratic process\, the power of the vote\, and on the legacy of political revolutions. Home movies become rich fodder for filmmakers\, their celluloid memories resurfacing stories about family\, immigration\, and cross-cultural dialogue. Voices from the margins circulate through the program\, centering women’s unsung labor\, queer voices\, and disappearing landscapes. As always the shorts program gathers an impressive range of local and international offerings\, while Bollywood is served up two ways – neo-noir and classic camp.

SUMMARY:Abu (Father)
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker in Person\n \nDeeply moving and smart\, Arshad Khan’s outstanding documentary is a quintessential immigrant story that captures the tumultuous journey of his family’s move to Canada\, from Pakistan\, in the early 90s. These were Arshad’s teenage years\, made all the more confusing by his budding queer sexuality. While the Khans had always struck a balance between traditional and modern values\, this was where they drew the line.  \nArshad poignantly recalls the balancing act\, managing his family’s expectations with his own hopes and dreams. His once-liberal parents had traded assimilation for fundamentalism\, moving towards a conservative strain of Islam\, while Arshad was becoming deeply involved in the cultural and political fabric of his new home. Peppered with animations\, snippets from Bollywood\, and a treasure trove of home movie footage\, Abu offers a complex and nuanced portrait of a family trying to hold on to one another in spite of all the challenges.

SUMMARY:Second screening of "The Hate Man" doc
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate all things “Hate Man” on what would have been the 81st birthday weekend of a person many felt was the nucleus of Berkeley’s street life for the past 50 years.  \n3rd i Films\, MiDNiTES FOR MANiACS\, and ATA co-present the 33-minute director’s cut of Ivan Jaigirdar’s The Hate Man\, Street Philosopher (2002\, director Ivan Jaigirdar) along with a slew of shorts and clips. \n “This moving portrait of a Berkeley street philosopher explores the Hate Man’s enigmatic life\, including why\, thirty years ago\, he chose to quit his job as a successful New York Times journalist\, drop out of mainstream society and live in the streets. Challenging conventional notions of success\, conformity\, progress and morality\, ‘Hate’ lucidly discusses and defends his own ‘downward mobility’ and personal theories of human communication among countless other issues.” Introduced by his nephew Jesse Hawthorne Ficks. \nSeptember 24\, Sunday\, 7:30 pm – The Hate Man Lives

SUMMARY:THE HATE MAN\, STREET PHILOSOPHER: Free Outdoor Screening
DESCRIPTION:The City of Berkeley and BAM/PFA will hold a FREE outdoor screening of documentary film\, The Hate Man\, Street Philosopher\, directed by Ivan Jaigirdar \nThe Hate Man\, Street Philosopher is a quirky\, entertaining and moving portrait of a Berkeley street philosopher called the “Hate Man”. This 33-minute documentary explores Hate Man’s enigmatic life\, including why he chose to quit his job as a successful New York Times journalist\, drop out of mainstream society and live in the streets. \nChallenging conventional notions of success\, conformity\, progress and morality\, “Hate” lucidly discusses and defends his own “downward mobility” and personal theories of human communication. He emphasizes the importance of acknowledging negativity and critiques the positivist bias of American mass culture. Incorporating scenes of Hate’s acerbic\, playful and witty heckling\, the film investigates and addresses the religious\, cultural and ideological paradoxes of a world where the Preachers of “love” damn us to hell\, and the self-named “Hate Man” and his followers teach caring and an acceptance of diversity. \nThe film will be the centerpiece of an event to celebrate and commemorate beloved Berkeley figure\, “Hate Man.” Other activities will include the presentation of a proclamation in his honor. \nSPONSORS: Sponsored by Berkeley Council member Kriss Worthington\, Council member Kate Harrison\, Midnites for Maniacs\, Artists’ Television Access and 3rd i Films. \nDate: Saturday\, August 26th\, 2017\nTime: 2PM\nLocation: BAM/PFA\, 2155 Center St.\, Berkeley\, CA\noutdoor screening\nFREE

With Adan back on the streets\, surrounded by his old crew\, ex-girlfriends\, prying FBI agents\, and his estranged family\, the dog may be his only friend as he tries to keep his faith and get through the night. \nKorla (2015\, 78 min\, image at top of page)\nDirector: John Turner\nWhen: Mar 7\, 6:30pm\nWhere: Wyatt Pavilion Theater (UC Davis\, Arboretum Dr\, Davis\, CA 95616)\nAs multifaceted as the sparkling jewel he wore on his turban\, spiritual seeker Korla Pandit was a television pioneer and a godfather of the exotica music genre. From 1949\, first in Los Angeles and subsequently in San Francisco\, this self-described son of a Brahmin priest from New Delhi performed on TV daily while staring silently and dreamily into the camera. In the 1950s he charmed American housewives\, and decades later he would emerge as a cult figure while playing at clubs populated by Los Angeles tiki-lounge-loving hipsters.
