SUMMARY:3rd i Co-presents "To Kill a Tiger"
DESCRIPTION:Q&A with director Nisha Pahuja\, moderated by Sara Dosa (Academy-Award Nominee\, FIRE OF LOVE).\nJoin us Saturday\, November 4\, at 3:30 PM for a special screening of the powerful award-winning documentary TO KILL A TIGER at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco! \nIn To Kill a Tiger\, Ranjit\, a farmer in Jharkhand\, India\, takes on the fight of his life when he demands justice for his 13-year-old daughter\, the survivor of sexual assault. In India\, where a rape is reported every 20 minutes and conviction rates are less than 30 percent\, Ranjit’s decision to support his daughter is virtually unheard of\, and his journey unprecedented. \nNote: Content contains sexual violence that may be a trigger for sensitive viewers.

SUMMARY:3rd i Presents "The Seeds of Vandana Shiva"
DESCRIPTION:FREE FILM SCREENING – tickets for admission become available at The Roxie one hour before the 7pm screening.\nDoors open at 6:30pm. \nHow did the willful daughter of a Himalayan forest conservator become Monsanto’s worst nightmare? The Seeds of Vandana Shiva tells the remarkable life story of Gandhian eco-activist Dr. Vandana Shiva\, how she stood up to the corporate Goliaths of industrial agriculture\, rose to prominence in the seed saving and organic food movements\, and is inspiring an international crusade for change. \nAmong those engaged with organic food and farming\, climate change\, biodiversity\, seed sovereignty\, globalization\, and social justice\, Vandana Shiva is an icon of a global movement. But even among those who pride themselves on being well-informed\, she’s relatively unknown. Few are aware of how this daughter of a Himalayan forest conservator rose from obscurity to become a world leader of Gandhian stature. Hers is the remarkable and unlikely story of a girl who trekked from highland cabin to cabin alongside her father\, tended a garden alongside her mother\, and passionately pursued an education that freed her from the caste and gender constraints of traditional Indian society that culminated in a degree in Nuclear Physics\, and then a Ph.D. in the Philosophy of Quantum Theory. But those achievements were merely a prelude to her awakening as a fully-committed activist. Vandana Shiva brought her scientific expertise and Gandhian principles of nonviolent resistance to the struggles of Indian villagers whose livelihoods were being crushed by corporate capitalism. She has become a formidable opponent to those corporations whose drive for privatization and profit are destroying the environment and changing the climate. Their predations in the name of a ‘green revolution’ with its promises of wealth and freedom and ‘feeding the world’ through patented and chemically-dependent GMO seeds are reducing traditional farmers and entire communities to inescapable servitude. In India\, the fruits of the Green Revolution have been an epidemic of rural suicides. The Seeds of Vandana Shiva focuses on the people\, circumstances and seminal events in Vandana’s life—what shaped her thinking and defined her purpose. It also shows how the battle against multinational agribusiness has become an international struggle between two visions for feeding the world: The first\, a multinational corporate model of chemically dependent monoculture that rewards a capitalist imperative of extraction for profit. And the other\, Earth Democracy\, that honors ecology\, biodiversity\, sustainability and community—what Dr. Shiva demonstrates is the only way forward for the future of food.

SUMMARY:3rd i presents: I for India
DESCRIPTION:Special introduction in person by Falu Bakrania!\nBakrania is a Professor of Race and Resistance Studies (RRS) in the College of Ethnic Studies at San Francisco State University and author of Bhangra and Asian Underground: South Asian Music and the Politics of Belonging in Britain. \n  \nI for India is a chronicle of immigration in Britain\, from the Sixties to the present day\, as seen through the eyes of one Asian family and their movie camera. \nIn 1965 Yash Pal Suri\, a young doctor\, left India for the U.K. with hopes of improving his family’s life. The first thing he did upon arriving in England was to buy two Super 8mm cameras\, two projectors and two reel-to-reel tape recorders. He sent one of each to his family in India\, and kept the others for himself. \nOver the next forty years\, through regular mailings of his filmed and taped thoughts and observations\, he shared his new life abroad with family members back home\, providing a unique record of the eccentricities-and occasional racism-of his new English hosts. Back in India\, his relatives\, in turn\, responded with their own “cine-letters\,” sending tales of weddings\, festivals and village life\, along with impassioned pleas for his return. \nIn addition to home movies\, I for India\, directed by one of Suri’s three daughters\, uses archival and contemporary footage and excerpts from BBC TV programs (including The Dark Million\, The Immigrant Doctors\, and The End of the Line)\, which chart the changing national mood about immigration over the decades\, from bemusement at the strange customs of the South Asian newcomers\, to fears of British culture being “swamped\,” to right-wing protests demanding the expulsion of “colored” immigrants. \nBy the end of the film\, as Suri and his wife communicate today via webcam with a daughter who has relocated to Australia\, I for India becomes not only a bittersweet time capsule of cultural alienation\, discovery\, racism and belonging\, but also a contemporary exploration of universal\, emotionally compelling themes of family separation and the quest for personal happiness\, wherever it may take you. \n“Sandhya Suri strikes humanist gold in her feature-filmmaking debut. The film manages to lyrically explore the meaning of filial responsibility with a lasting but unsentimental tenderness… one of the richest documentaries of the year.” —Aaron Hillis\, The Village Voice \n“Both deeply personal and surprisingly universal.” —Jeanette Catsoulis\, The New York Times \n“Intimate and rewarding…almost unbearably moving.” —Justin Chang\, Variety \n“A profound and profoundly moving film that any director could be proud of; as a debut\, it’s formidably accomplished.” —Sight & Sound \n“A miraculous mini-epic… terrifically warm\, watchable filmmaking.” —The Guardian

SUMMARY:3rd i Presents "Creature"
DESCRIPTION:FREE if you register in Eventbrite by June 4.\n\n$10 at The Roxie box office on June 5. \nTicket link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/creature-tickets-891231235617\n\nCo-presented by Chitresh Das Institute and San Francisco Dance Film Festival \n\nIn a dilapidated former Arctic research station\, “Creature” is unknowingly enlisted by a fascistic military brigade into a program that subjects him to experimentation\, harsh conditions\, and isolation. He finds himself enamored with Marie\, a cleaner\, the only person to show him kindness and compassion; together they dream of escape from their dystopian environment. \nAcademy Award-winner Asif Kapadia (Senna\, Amy\, The Warrior) directs Creature\, a genre-busting collaboration that fuses film and contemporary dance by acclaimed choreographer Akram Khan\, produced by Uzma Hasan\, and performed by the English National Ballet with music by Vincenzo Lamagna. \nAsif Kapadia: “The creature (Jeffrey Cirio) and Marie (Erina Takahashi) want to be part of something\, a society\, but they’ll never be a part of it. They’ll be used\, abused\, screwed up and left by the people with power…Environment\, global warming\, religion\, colonialism\, xenophobia\, Brexit\, Trump. Outsiders searching for belonging. The enduring hope of human connection. It’s all those things\, everything.” \n\n“Intense…makes dance feel accessible and intimate” – Anna Smith\, Deadline \nKapadia’s documentary sensibilities work astutely in this beautifully performed ensemble piece. A soulful and engaging feat in collaborative filmmaking. – Beth Web\, Empire Online \nThe film feels so prescient\, as though addressing the state of the world today: the abuse of power\, the rise of the dictator and dictatorship\, corruption\, chaos\, otherness. – Hynam Kendall\, AnOther Magazine \n  \nContent consideration for sensitive viewers: Contemporary dance depiction of sexual harassment and assault. Flashing lights/images. \n  \n
