SUMMARY:3rd i Presents "A Suitable Girl"
DESCRIPTION:A SUITABLE GIRL\nDirected by Sarita Khurana & Smriti Mundhra \nWinner of the Albert Maysles Award for Best New Documentary Director\, at the Tribeca International Film Festival\, 2017 \nDirector will be present for Q & A \nWhen: Saturday March 31st but at 2pm\nWhere: ATA\, 992 Valencia Street \, San Francisco\, CA 94110\nCost: $7 general\, and $5 for students\, tickets available at the door \nA Suitable Girl follows three young women in India struggling to maintain their identities and follow their dreams amid intense pressure to get married. 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.

SUMMARY:3rd i Films & ATA present: "Capitalism\," Episodes 5 & 6
DESCRIPTION:When: Thursday\, February 22\, 7:30 pm\nWhere: Artists’ Television Access\, 992 Valencia Street\, San Francisco\, CA 94110 \nFree screening \nIn recent months\, 3rd i and ATA screened Capitalism\, Episodes 1\, 2\, 3 & 4\, directed by Ilan Ziv. 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

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:3rd i and AIF present "The Revolutionary Optimists"
DESCRIPTION:3rd i collaborates with The America India Foundation\, (AIF) Young Professionals\, to present The Revolutionary Optimists.

It’s truly extraordinary to bear witness to the undeniable sea change Ganguly has set in motion. \nThis event is a fundraiser for AIF. \n“Four Stars…It’s truly something to see…”\n–Time Out New York

SUMMARY:3rd i presents "Bollywood Divas"
DESCRIPTION:Bollywood Divas: Queering Desi Cinema\nby Kareem Khubchandani and Anuj Vaidya \n\nWhen: June 8 (Saturday)\, 7pm\nWhere: ATA\, San Francisco\nCost: $10 online; $12 at the door\n(online ticket sales at: bollywooddivas.brownpapertickets.com) \nAn evening of satire\, comedy and drop-down drag Bollywood ‘ishtyle’!! \nIn Khubchandani’s LESSONS IN DRAG\, Professor Lahore Vagistan\, a drag queen attempting to make it from the Chicago Stage to the Bollywood Screen\, educates her classroom about the day’s topic\, Fillum. By combining ethnographic interviews\, works of fiction by queer South Asian novelists\, comedic drag sequences inspired by Bollywood\, and improvised audience interaction\, Kareem stages the many ways in which film becomes a tool of survival for marginal subjects. \nVaidya’s BAD GIRL WITH A HEART OF GOLD finds the artist in conversation with his own film of the same name. The performance explores the genealogy of the vamp in Bollywood — from her origins in the Jewish stars of early Indian cinema and culminating in the iconic roles of the anglo-Indian actress Helen in the 60s and 70s. The performance weaves many of Helen’s signature roles together to pose the question: Can Helen escape her perpetual death by Bollywood? \nPresented in collaboration with the APICC’s United States of Asian America Festival and QCC’s National Queer Arts Festival \nThis program was supported by:\n
