Ritu\, Dipti and Amrita represent the new India. Educated\, financially stable and raised with a mix of traditional and contemporary values in the urban cities of Mumbai and New Delhi\, they have access to the world in ways their mothers did not. Yet their lives take a dramatic turn when the pressure to settle down and get married hits. Career aspirations become secondary to the pursuit of a husband\, and the women struggle with the prospect of leaving their homes and families to become part of another. \nDocumenting the arranged marriage and matchmaking process in vérité over four years\, the film examines the women’s complex relationships with the marriage\, family\, and culture; the many nuanced ways society molds them into traditional roles; and a rarely-seen portrait of India’s urban middle class.

On Thursday February 22nd\, the final two episodes\, 5 & 6\, will be screened.\nThere will be an introduction\, going over the key points of Episodes 1 & 2 and 3 & 4\, before we screen Episodes 5 & 6. \nHere’s a brief rundown of the episodes: \nCapitalism has been the engine of unprecedented economic growth and social transformation. With the fall of the communist states and the triumph of “neo- liberalism\,” capitalism is by far the world’s dominant ideology. 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 URL:https://www.thirdi.org/event/3rd-i-films-ata-present-capitalism-episodes-5-6/ LOCATION:Artists’ Television Access\, 992 Valencia Street\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94110\, United States CATEGORIES:Home Page Slider,Screenings and Events,Year-Round Screenings and Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.thirdi.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/capitlarger.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180126T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180126T190000 DTSTAMP:20260403T124934 CREATED:20180125T185602Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180125T190248Z UID:4603-1516993200-1516993200@www.thirdi.org SUMMARY:3rd i and ATA present: "Capitalism"--Episodes 3 & 4 DESCRIPTION:3rd i and ATA present: \nCapitalism–Episodes 3 & 4 \nWhen: Friday\, January 26\, 7:00 pm\nWhere: Artists’ Television Access\,\n992 Valencia Street\, San Francisco\, CA 94110 \nFree screening \n3rd i and ATA screened Capitalism episode 1 and 2 late last year\, and now we’re screening Episodes 3 and 4 of ‘Capitalism’\, directed by Ilan Ziv.

The play probes the surface of the characters to question their deeper motivations\, but the mode is comic rather than tragic\, even though the concerns are serious. \nThe story of Jairaj and Ratna\, two Bharatanatyam dancers past their prime\, is contrasted with that of their daughter Lata\, who is on the brink of establishing herself as a brilliant dancer. Her imminent success creates tension and jealousy\, and the audience is drawn into the dark secrets of family relationships and conflicts between generations. \nCourtesy of URL:https://www.thirdi.org/event/dance-like-a-man/ LOCATION:CineArts at Palo Alto Square\, 3000 El Camino Real\, Palo Alto\, CA\, 94306\, United States CATEGORIES:2017,festivals,films,Past Festival Screenings and Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.thirdi.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Dance_slider.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20171118T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20171118T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T124934 CREATED:20171114T223605Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180922T002715Z UID:4534-1511024400-1511024400@www.thirdi.org SUMMARY:Newton DESCRIPTION:Amit Masurkar’s smart and engaging black comedy\, Newton\, (official selection at the Berlin Film Festival) finds humor in the tenuous nature of democracy\, a hard task on the global stage at the present. When conscientious clerk\, Newton\, is placed on election duty in the conflict-ridden “tribal” area of Chhattisgarh\, he tries his best to conduct free and fair voting despite the apathy of security forces and the looming fear of an attack by Maoist rebels. The titular role is played with sincerity and deeply felt passion by Rajkummar Rao (Queen\, Aligarh)\, a rising star on the indie scene in India. \nThe village where he must ensure that the election is carried out properly turns out to be a democratic stress-center\, where he must keep devious military personnel and oddball bureaucrats in check – even as the voters remain strangely absent.

With an anti-war message at its heart\, this timeless fable premiered to great acclaim at the Toronto Film Festival. \nThe film follows the misadventures of Goopi and Bagha\, two musicians banished from their villages for their ear-splitting music. Their cacophony\, however\, enthralls the King of Ghosts\, who grants them four magical boons. Thanks to their new gifts\, Goopi and Bagha are appointed court musicians in the neighboring kingdom of Shundi\, only to be drawn in to courtly intrigue and politics. It will be up to them to use their boons (and their brains!) to prevent war between two brothers — and win the hands of two beautiful princesses. \nRanade’s imaginative and textured animation brings a unique vision to this inventive and heartwarming film full of humor\, spirit\, and kindness. \n  URL:https://www.thirdi.org/event/the-world-of-goopi-and-bagha-goopi-gawaiya-bagha-bajaiya/ LOCATION:CineArts at Palo Alto Square\, 3000 El Camino Real\, Palo Alto\, CA\, 94306\, United States CATEGORIES:2017,festivals,films,Past Festival Screenings and Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.thirdi.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20171118T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20171118T130000 DTSTAMP:20260403T124934 CREATED:20170926T004305Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180922T003638Z UID:4237-1511010000-1511010000@www.thirdi.org SUMMARY:The Cinema Travellers DESCRIPTION:In this intimate and poetic gem\, Shirley Abraham and Amit Madheshiya capture the miracle of cinema in its purest sense\, and the timelessness of a tradition that has< existed in India for decades – the traveling tent cinema. There’s not a moment that feels forced\, resulting in both immersion and authenticity at every stage of the film. \nThe film focuses on the nomadic projectionists and technicians who roam the rural Indian countryside delivering the magic of film\, and tending to the equipment as if it were an ailing relative. It’s a disappearing trade\, however\, with the influx of digital technology and an audience ever more reliant on the small screen. \nFive years in the making\, the film debuted at the Cannes Film Festival to critical acclaim\, and should entice cinephiles with its effusive love of 20th-century celluloid splendor. \n  URL:https://www.thirdi.org/event/the-cinema-travelers/ LOCATION:CineArts at Palo Alto Square\, 3000 El Camino Real\, Palo Alto\, CA\, 94306\, United States CATEGORIES:2017,festivals,films,Past Festival Screenings and Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.thirdi.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/CinemaTravellers_slider.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20171118T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20171118T113000 DTSTAMP:20260403T124934 CREATED:20170926T004851Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180922T003650Z UID:4244-1511004600-1511004600@www.thirdi.org SUMMARY:Bad\, Brown\, Bride: 3 Desi Series DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Filmmakers in Person!\n \nSnappy\, sexy\, and seriously modern\, these three shorts series turn stereotypes about desis on their heads\, and offer modern portraits of young South Asians in America. A pilot for a TV show\, Shawn Parikh and Devanshi Patel’s Bad Indians is Will & Grace meets Catastrophe\, and is a sassy comedy about the adventures of two codependent friends living and loving in Los Angeles. Brown Girls\, the hit web series by Fatimah Ashgar and Sam Bailey which was recently picked up by HBO\, offers a candid and sex-positive look at the life of two 20-something roommates in Chicago. Ik Jagait and Palvinder Jagait’s Bullet Bride (a South Bay production) takes the hackneyed arranged marriage plot and turns it into a roller-coaster ride full of surprises. \nThe program presents a few episodes from each of these series\, introducing audiences to a whole new generation of talent\, and offering snippets from storylines and characters that’ll keep you coming back for more. The screening will be followed by a conversation around the ongoing explosion of South Asian talent on the small screen and through web series.

The Summer of Tigers in Bangladesh ended with a failed Maoist mutiny. Along with the leaders\, also arrested was Peter Custers\, a Dutch journalist who befriended the leader of the soldiers’ mutiny. Last Man unspools two stories in reverse: In a series of newsreels\, we start with Peter’s release. In the parallel\, and contradictory\, story told by Peter\, memories unravel over books and magazines in his Netherlands home. Inspired by Herbert Marcuse’s One-Dimensional Man\, Peter dropped out of Johns Hopkins to move to Asia in search for a revolutionary proletariat. A few months after the film’s premiere at the 2015 Venice Biennale\, Peter passed away unexpectedly. The film is now an unexpected memorial; the last man has said goodbye. \nThe idea of the remaining witness\, and whether memory is blessing or burden\, play out in Mohaiemen’s current exhibition at MoMA\, New York\, There Is No Last Man. \nPreceded by the short Abu Ammar is Coming (2016\, Bangladesh/USA\, 6mins). Using black and white archival photos\, this evocative short merges promise and heartbreak\, tracing the residual memories and stories of the moment of global solidarity between Palestine and Bangladesh. \n  URL:https://www.thirdi.org/event/last-man-in-dhaka-central-the-young-man-was-part-3/ LOCATION:New People Cinema\, 1746 Post Street\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94115\, United States CATEGORIES:2017,festivals,films,Past Festival Screenings and Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.thirdi.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Last-Man_Remember-Our-Time.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20171112T144500 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20171112T144500 DTSTAMP:20260403T124934 CREATED:20170925T234429Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180922T002825Z UID:4227-1510497900-1510497900@www.thirdi.org SUMMARY:NEWTON DESCRIPTION:Amit Masurkar’s smart and engaging black comedy\, Newton\, (official selection at the Berlin Film Festival) finds humor in the tenuous nature of democracy\, a hard task on the global stage at the present.

On a rock-strewn mountain 5\,000 meters high\, amidst the stunning landscape of Ladakh\, lives shepherdess Tsering with her flock of 300 sheep and pashmina goats. \nEvery winter\, Tsering sets out from from her home village to the high plateaus of the Himalayas\, so that the flock can graze through the winter. Her only access to events in the outside world is via a small transistor radio. When the batteries run out\, Tsering sings to herself and the surrounding glaciers. Apart from the physical travails of herding sheep across the icy terrain\, danger also lurks in the form of wolves and snow leopards\, which Tsering must fight off single-handedly. Documented over four seasons by her brother Stanzin Dorjai\, the film examines a culture and a landscape that are fast disappearing\, due to modernization and climate change.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
