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

SUMMARY:The Queen of My Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Q&A with director Fawzia Mirza!\nVibrant\, fun\, and romantic\, with the colors and spirit that evoke Bollywood musicals\, THE QUEEN OF MY DREAMS\, directed and written by 3rd i alumna Fawzia Mirza (NOOR & LAYLA\, SIGNATURE MOVES)\, is a luminous film about the complicated and intertwined bonds between mothers and daughters. \nQueer Pakistani grad student Azra (Amrit Kaur\, THE SEX LIVES OF COLLEGE GIRLS) is worlds apart from her conservative Muslim mother (Nimra Bucha). When her father suddenly dies on a trip home to Pakistan\, Azra finds herself on a Bollywood-inspired journey through memories\, both real and imagined—from her mother’s youth in Karachi to her own coming-of-age in rural Canada. \nMirza’s expansive intergenerational narrative of women seeking to explore and define themselves in different eras (flashing between 1999 and 1969)\, which traces key moments in the lives of a mother and daughter born three decades apart\, is inspired by her own personal experience. \nPREMIERED – Toronto International Film Festival\, One of Canada’s Top 10 Films of 2023\nWINNER – BFI London Film Festival\, Sutherland Award 2023\nSHORTLIST – Directors Guild of Canada’s Jean Marc Vallée Discovery Award 2023

SUMMARY:Drawing A Line
DESCRIPTION:Sharp\, satirical\, and highly popular sociopolitical Indian cartoonist Rachita Taneja is the subject of DRAWING A LINE\, a documentary directed by Sama Pana\, which premiered at the renowned Hot Docs Festival and won Best Documentary Series at Canneseries 2023. It wonderfully explores Rachita’s inner world and her creative expression as she confronts persecution and censorship with humor and honesty. \nTaneja\, using the pseudonym “Sanitary Panels\,” creates stick-figure cartoons that challenge India’s deep-rooted myths and social and political taboos surrounding topics such as menstruation\, mental health\, freedom of speech\, climate change\, and LGBTQIA+ rights. \nTaneja’s webcomics have garnered a large following among young liberals\, but they also attract government scrutiny and suppression. The film reveals that\, despite facing criminal prosecution\, Taneja is dedicated to advocating for diverse communities in India and combating the erosion of free speech in the world’s largest democracy. This timely\, inspiring and thought-provoking film provides an empowering example of resisting censorship and defending freedom of expression with bravery and creativity. \nWINNER – Canneséries 2023\, Best International Documentary Series “Draw for Change!”\nPREMIERED – Hot Docs 2024\n

SUMMARY:All We Imagine as Light
DESCRIPTION:Hypnotic\, meditative\, and almost spiritually evocative of the human condition\, ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT\, directed by Payal Kapadia (A NIGHT OF KNOWING NOTHING\, 3rd i’s Film Fest 2023)\, is a glorious Cannes Film Festival award winner that should not be missed. \nThe feature begins with a dreamlike ode to the thriving\, cosmopolitan\, and diverse city of Mumbai\, and transitions to a richly textured and delicate poetic portrait of the lives of three women and their journey of self-discovery and friendship. \nIn Mumbai\, Nurse Prabha’s routine is troubled when she receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband. Her younger roommate\, Anu\, tries in vain to find a place in the city to be intimate with her boyfriend. A trip to the sea and beach town of their displaced friend\, Parvati\, allows them all to find a space for their desires to manifest. \nALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT is a magical and poetic masterpiece that is brilliantly unassuming. Filmed with exquisite elegance and precision\, it is subtly unconventional and even subversive in its approach to visual storytelling and ways of exploring issues of gender\, class and religious inequalities. \n“The film confirms Kapadia as one of the most compelling voices of contemporary cinema.” – Paolo Bertolin\, film critic \n“‘Lyrical’ and ‘delicate\,’ Payal Kapadia’s universal\, emotional film\, premiering at Cannes\, will ‘win hearts everywhere.'” – Nicholas Barber\, BBC \nWINNER  – Cannes Film Festival 2024\, Grand Prix award
