DESCRIPTION:See only at the Castro Theatre\, not available online.\nGet your Bollywood groove on with 3rd i’s Bollywood at the Castro! Enjoy a blockbuster classic with exuberance and camp on the BIG SCREEN – one of the most fun and popular events at the festival!  \nFans know Rani Mukherjee as one of the most beautiful\, dynamic women ever to grace a movie screen\, and a celebrated actor in Indian cinema. Featuring sparkling comic performances from both Mukherjee and her co-star Shahid Kapoor\, as well as dazzling song sequences\, this is a rousing\, fun-filled musical romance – with cricket\, too. \nMukherjee plays a feisty Punjabi woman who just happens to be a brilliant batsman. When the cocky Rohan (Kapoor) returns from overseas to take up coaching a national men’s cricket team\, she seeks a position in the lineup. There’s no place on his team for a girl. So\, in a conceit right out of Shakespeare\, she dons a beard and a turban to fulfill her dream of playing. \nFilled with the booty-shaking\, percussive joy of Punjabi music\, this is a full-on Bollywood masala movie\, never shy about deploying Mukherjee’s smoky hotness and the hunky cuteness of Kapoor. Right up to its fantastic closing number\, this movie bursts with vibrant\, firecracker charm.

SUMMARY:MUTINY: Asians Storm British Music
DESCRIPTION:See only at the Castro Theatre\, not available online.\nFilmmaker Vivek Bald in person for Q&A!\nIn a thrilling mix of live music performances\, candid interviews and rare archival footage\,  director Vivek Bald charts the meteoric rise of South Asian music in 1990’s Britain and the decades of cultural cross-pollination and political struggle that led up to that historic moment. The documentary features some of the greatest innovators and legendary artists in the South Asian British music scene of the 90s:  Asian Dub Foundation\, Talvin Singh\, State of Bengal\, Fun-Da-Mental\, Anjali\, DJ Ritu\, Joi\, Black Star Liner and many others. \nMutiny presents the story of a generation that grew up defining itself in an environment of racial violence\, while drawing strength from both British street culture and South Asian roots. Nearly every musician interviewed talks about experiencing anti-Asian racism while growing up. Bald shows how identification with England’s black population led them to embrace reggae and hip-hop in addition to Indian sounds like Bollywood soundtrack music\, bhangra\, and Indian classical music. This led to the Asian Underground movement of English rock in the 90s\, with artists mixing the influences of their parents’ cultures with electronica\, hip-hop\, reggae\, and punk that produced unique and powerful new sounds that have become some of the greatest contributions to British music. \n  \nAFTER PARTY\n9:30pm – 11:30pm\nCome to a special “After Party” of Asian Underground beats reminiscent of Mutiny & Dhamaal (Azaad) club events\, Global Hip Hop\, plus the latest flavors of the diaspora. \nPerformances by:\nNavdeep Music (Mutiny\, Anamika)\nSETI X\nManeesh the Twister (Surya Dub\, Dhamaal) soundcloud.com/surya-dub \nBissap Baobab Village\n243 Mission St\, SF (btwn 18th & 19th)\n9:30pm-11:30pm\nCall (415) 826-9287 for more details \n

SUMMARY:SHANKAR’S FAIRIES
DESCRIPTION:See only at the Castro Theatre\, not available online.\nFilled with wonder and imagination\, Irfana Majumdar’s nostalgic and insightful period piece portrays a privileged family in Lucknow\, India in the 1960s. \nMajumdar’s feature debut delicately weaves together the personal and social lives of a wealthy family\, while simultaneously delving into the postcolonial era in which India is newly independent but still remains exploitative and bound by caste and class. \nShankar\, a village man with many skills\, is an indispensable servant in the house of a senior police officer. His master’s young daughter loves his magical stories about fairy tales\, and they share a close bond. Meanwhile\, Shankar’s own daughter falls seriously ill in his village while he is away. \nThese complexities in the narrative explore the structures of class\, caste\, inequality\, and social obligations. Loosely based on a story written by Majumdar’s mother\, Nita Kumar\, the narrative was filmed in the maternal family home. \nDirector Irfana has commented:\n“The countless moments of daily life shape our future. In our childhood\, we both witness injustice and experience wonder. The film asks: how do we reconcile with this? Who do we become? What do we remember?’’ \nGolden Leopard nominee\, Locarno International Film Festival\nGold Hugo nominee\, Chicago International Film Festival

SUMMARY:Adieu Godard
DESCRIPTION:See only at the Castro Theatre\, not available online.\nIn this wry\, arthouse dark comedy\,  director Amartya Bhattacharyya pays homage to and draws inspiration from his favorite filmmaker\, the legendary auteur Jean-Luc Godard and his early 1960s French New wave films. \nThe elderly Ananda lives in a small village in the rural backdrop of Odisha in northeastern India. He has the reputation of being the village pervert for his obsession with porn\, buying DVDs from a local seller and organizing frequent viewing parties with his friends\, while ignoring the visible disdain of his wife and daughter. Things go awry for Ananda when his supplier\, in a comical mistake\, gives him a DVD of Godard’s Breathless\, branding it as a “French pornographic film.” \nIgnoring his friends’ derision for the lack of nudity and sex\, with Breathless\, Ananda grows enamored with Godard films\, so much so that he decides to hold a film festival of Godard’s films in the village. \nAdieu Godard provides a critical commentary on the conventions of commercial cinema. \nBhattacharyya’s narrative technique of Godard vs. porn sets up the debate of cinema as an artistic medium vs. cinema as a distraction from daily menial drudgery. It also ponders the idea of where appreciation of art originates\, and how it may not be constrained by the boundaries of socioeconomic class. \nWinner – Best Director\, Actor and  Screenplay – Sipontum Arthouse Intl Film Festival 2022\nWinner – Best Film Bengaluru International Film Festival 2022\nWinner – Best Film Golden Royal Bengal Tiger\, Kolkata INternational Film Festival 2022\nWinner – The “Dare to Dream” award at the UK Film Festival (UKAFF) 2022

SUMMARY:Bollywood at the Castro - Animated Tribute "Bombay Rose"
DESCRIPTION:SF Bay Area Premiere\nOfficial Selection\, Toronto International & Venice Film Festivals\, Gold Hugo nominee at Venice\, 2019\nIn this gorgeous and evocative hand-painted animated feature\, Bombay Rose\, a single red rose weaves together three fantastical tales of impossible loves. \nIn the rich\, colorful and layered animation there is an ethereal brightness to the chaotic Mumbai streetscapes where Bollywood cinema is both satirized and romanticized\, and small town folks in the big city can be crushed by its mean streets\, or redeemed by love. The film moves seamlessly between a documentary feeling of present day struggles in Mumbai\, to the lusciously designed dream sequences set in ancient India and inspired by Mughal folk art. Yoav Rosenthal’s original score merges swooning ballads with traditional Bollywood music and a haunting Latin love tribute. \nClass and political commentary are subtle and second to the visual evocation of this story about unsung heroes struggling for survival\, who live and love across time and memory. Rao’s long awaited feature debut must not be missed. \n“ … with its heart firmly beating to the music of Bollywood\, Gitanjali Rao’s debut feature is a stunningly realised work of animated filmmaking… cleverly choreographed and painted frame by frame over a six-year production period.” – Fionnuala Halligan\, ScreenDaily \n

SUMMARY:Children of the Sun (Gaadi)
DESCRIPTION:Director Prasanna Vithanage in person!\nNorth American Premiere\nOfficial Selection\, Busan International. Director Prasanna Vithanage is an award-winning filmmaker whose narratives and documentaries have screened at festivals around the world and achieved commercial success.\nVithanage’s searing masterpiece is a period drama that takes on caste conflict and British colonial influences in Sri Lanka in the early 1800s. An exceptional narrative and captivating cinematography\, Vithanage draws us into the past with great ease. \nWhen the aristocratic Sinhalese community’s plans to oust the Tamil king Sri Wickrama Rajasinhe go awry\, the men go into hiding\, while their wives are forced to marry men from the Rodiya community – a lower caste group at the bottom of the social ladder – with tumultuous results. Working with a wide palette that ranges from historical drama to nuanced and intimate storytelling\, Vinthanage crafts a deeply empathetic film that is simultaneously heart-wrenching and hopeful. \n“Our nation went through three decades of a brutal civil war waged in the name of racial and religious identities. Since the struggle to uphold identities has not stopped in post-war Sri Lanka\, I believe it is important to raise the question\, ‘Is identity more important than the sanctity of life?’” – Prasanna Vithanage\, Filmmaker

SUMMARY:Namdev Bhau: In Search of Silence
DESCRIPTION:SF Bay Area Premiere\nOfficial Selection to Busan International\, BFI London\, Dharamshala & Palm Springs\, and critically acclaimed\, wins Best Feature\nA magical and witty\, off-beat take on the road movie\, Dar Gai’s film is a meditative reflection that takes us through the breathtaking landscapes of Ladakh in the Himalayas. Driven to the end of his wits by the cacophony of Mumbai – the noisiest city in the world – Namdev Bhau\, a 65-year-old chauffeur\, sets off in search of the fabled Silent Valley. The elderly man’s attempts at maintaining solitude are comically subverted at every turn\, until the precocious and talkative young Aaliq becomes a constant companion through the rest of his awe-inspiring sojourn. \nGai – a philosopher by training – weaves a heart-warming odyssey that cleverly keeps everything on the surface until a final revelation brings an unforeseeable twist. In the end\, this cinematic journey offers the expedient truth that coming to terms with your internal conflicts and disharmony is an exigency of a happy life. \n“Thoughtfully paced and with terrific performances\, Dar Gai’s second feature confirms her as an exciting new voice in contemporary Indian cinema.” – BFI London Film Festival \n

SUMMARY:Ravening (Aamis)
DESCRIPTION:West Coast Premiere\nOfficial Selection to Tribeca\, Mumbai and Calgary Festivals\, 2019\, and Winner\, Facebook award for Film with Most Buzz\nBhaskar Hazarika’s quietly shocking film blends gentle romance and body horror into a unique cinematic experience. Niri (a doctor) and Sumon (a doctoral student) find common ground in their shared love for unconventional meats. As Sumon pursues a dissertation on the regional meat-eating traditions across India\, he woos Niri with increasingly adventurous delicacies that he lovingly prepares for her. \nHazarika masterfully concocts a tale of love and addiction\, that builds slowly – from a lilting rhythm to a pounding finale. \n“Bhaskar Hazarika folds in class commentary and dreamlike interludes\, but saves the film’s most surprising and shocking gambit—and aftermath—for the third act\, capping off an unforgettable meditation on taboo and transgression.” – Frederick Boyer\, Tribeca Film Festival

SUMMARY:3rd i Co-presents at SF Film Fest

SUMMARY:Village Rockstars
DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Premier\nAs visually stunning as it is delightful\, Village Rockstars is a labor of love to Assam\, every frame brimming with affection. Not surprising given that writer/director Rima Das hails from Chhaygaon\, where the film is set. \nA magical coming-of-age film\, reminiscent of Satyajit Ray\, it follows the feisty young Dhunu and her frolicking band of friends\, who rock out to their styrofoam instruments and dream of becoming real musicians. When the village elders complain about Dhunu’s tomboyish ways\, her mother stands up for her\, in the film’s subtle yet radical feminist gesture. \nA not-to-be-missed offering at this year’s festival\, this feel-good indie favorite is a perfect antidote to “poverty porn.” \n“Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival\, VILLAGE ROCKSTARS has a soul and vision rare in Indian cinema today and marks Das as a major emerging filmmaker.” – IFFLA \nVillage Rockstars is India’s official entry to the Oscars 2019.\n

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

With vivid performances and musical interludes\, and the sultry Rajasthani landscape as the backdrop\, Parched has the spirit of rebellion at its heart!

The film weaves between Rog’s dislocation in a strange new land and his internal conflicts\, as he struggles to achieve an emotional epiphany. \nFeaturing stunning cinematography and an equally haunting score\, Khoya showcases an excellent performance by Rupak Ginn who brings a local connection to the film with his San Francisco origins. \n \nSpecial Thanks to the Adoption Museum Project.

SUMMARY:The World of Goopi and Bagha (Goopi Gawaiya\, Bagha Bajaiya)
DESCRIPTION:Director Shilpa Ranade and Musician Narayan Parasuram (of 3 Brothers and a Violin) in Person!!\n(Shilpa Ranade\, India\, 2013\, 79mins) Set in a world full of vibrant music and color\, Shilpa Ranade’s magical film is an animated adaptation of a cherished children’s classic\, and a remake of one of Indian master Satyajit Ray’s most beloved works. 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.

SUMMARY:Kaul (A Calling)
DESCRIPTION:(Aadish Keluskar\, India\, 2015\, 122mins) With camerawork and sound design that bring a visceral sense of dislocation\, Aadish Keluskar’s bold and innovative Kaul can only be described as a truly transformative cinematic experience. \nA schoolteacher stops to offer an old man a light for his cigarette on his way back home one night\, and encounters a supernatural experience that he is unable to explain. Left shaken to his core\, and unable to ascertain its authenticity\, he begins to doubt his very mind\, until he meets the old man again and learns that he is the “chosen one.” Now is the true test of his sanity\, whether to believe his “believer” and commit a crime\, or to admit to his own insanity. \nDeeply inspired by the films of Tarkovsky and Bela Tarr\, and firmly rooted in a Marathi milieu\, Keluskar masterfully walks a fine line between the believable and the unbelievable\, and delivers a unique film that brings an equal measure of the mystical\, the existential\, the surreal\, and the sublime.

SUMMARY:PK
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Bollywood at the Castro – one of the most popular events at the festival! This year’s interstellar offering takes Bollywood exuberance in a whole new direction apt for the 21st century! Superstar Aamir Khan shines as the titular PK\, an inquisitive space alien who lands on Earth and shakes up society\, in director Rajkumar Hirani’s (3 idiots) subversive comedy. Deftly poking fun at the foibles of earthlings – especially their warring religions\, PK shines a light on the contradictions of social mores with humor and compassion. A runaway hit in India\, the film features a wealth of top actors including Anushka Sharma as a plucky TV journalist\, Saurabh Shukla as a wealthy Hindu mega-swami\, and most memorably\, Munnabhai MBBS star Sanjay Dutt as a ruffian wedding band musician.

SUMMARY:Tigers
DESCRIPTION:US Premier\nFollowed by Q&A with Syed Raza Aamir Hussain and Shaftaq Batool Raza\, the real-life heroes behind the story \nA gripping feature film based on the true story of Ayan\, a young Pakistani salesman\, who challenges the system when he discovers the devastating effects of the infant formula he is selling. Expertly straddling the line between documentary and fiction\, this David-and-Goliath story is told partially through the eyes of a film crew making a documentary on Ayan’s astonishing findings. Bollywood star Emraan Hashmi (The Dirty Picture) and National Award-winning actress Geetanjali Thapa (Liar’s Dice\, SFISAFF 2014) bring pathos\, nuance and passion to their respective roles. In the hands of Oscar-winning director Danis Tanovic (No Man’s Land)\, this film becomes a powerful tale of a man who is willing to risk his life to expose a system where narrow interests prevail.

SUMMARY:The Crow’s Egg (Kaaka Muttai)
DESCRIPTION:Bay Area Premier \nA delightful and heartwarming dramatic comedy that paints a vivid portrait of urban street kids\, but with hope and initiative rather than despair. In a tiny concrete-and-tin Chennai home\, two brothers see a pizza commercial whose steaming\, slow-motion images make the unfamiliar food look like manna from heaven. These young boys see all the obstacles between them and their first slice as puzzles to be worked out\, and they’re more than up to the task. While reminiscent of Slumdog Millionaire\, this film is a breath of fresh air\, not because it mimics that film — it doesn’t — but because this family film at last finds a way to shift the lens to an exuberantly Indian perspective. M. Manikandan’s endearing film has won several national awards and received a standing ovation at the Toronto Film Festival.

SUMMARY:Haider (Hamlet)
DESCRIPTION:Introduced by Prof. Gitanjali Shahani\, Department of English Language and Literature\, SFSU\, who has taught and written extensively on Shakespearan drama\, and Shakespeare in Hindi cinema. \nUnder the masterful direction of Vishal Bharadwaj\, Shakespearean tragedy seem a natural lens through which to view contemporary India. Haider\, his adaptation of Hamlet\, is the third in a series after the highly acclaimed Maqbool/Macbeth (2003) and Omkara/Othello (2006). Bharadwaj fuses Bollywood scale and spectacle with indie sensibilities\, and brings the passion of Hamlet to life with an intensity rarely seen in Indian cinema\, while Basharat Peer’s brave and brilliant script transposes the Shakespearean cycles of violence and revenge to the conflict in Kashmir. Bollywood heartthrob Shahid Kapoor (Jab We Met\, Dil Bole Hadippa) brings pathos to his role as Hamlet\, Tabu (Life of Pi\, The Namesake) brings depth and mystery to her role as Ghazala (Gertrude)\, and Irrfan Khan (The Lunchbox\, Slumdog Millionaire) mesmerizes as Shakespeare’s Ghost. Winner\, People’s Choice Award\, Rome Film Festival.
