SUMMARY:Khoya (Lost)
DESCRIPTION:Director Sami Khan and Actor Rupak Ginn in Person!!\n(Sami Khan\, India/Canada\, 2015\, 82mins) A nuanced and introspective thriller\, Sami Khan’s outstanding feature Khoya is a deeply affecting film about the universal quest to find one’s roots\, home\, and belonging. When Rog Moreau’s mother dies\, the adoptive ties to his Canadian identity begin to feel tenuous\, setting him off on a journey to India in search of his birth parents. But India is a foreign land\, and Rog cannot even speak the local tongue. \nSeeking to unravel the dark mystery surrounding his adoption\, Rog follows the spectres that lead him through the back alleys of the Mumbai slums to arrive in the expansive and dusty plains of Madhya Pradesh to confront a startling revelation. 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.

While the friends enjoy their remarkable rapport at first\, differences soon begin to arise—emotions and tensions bubble to the surface until they finally explode in a way that threatens to impact the lives of all three men for a long time to come. \nLoev is a landmark film\, honestly exploring gay relationships in India\, where\, to this day\, same-sex love is punishable by harsh prison sentences. \nRead an interview with the Mumbai-based director in Variety. \nDIRECTOR: Sudhanshu Saria \nTuesday\, June 21\, 1:30 PM\nCastro Theatre \nFriday\, June 24\, 7:00 PM \nVictoriaTheatre

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.

SUMMARY:Fandry
DESCRIPTION:Revered Marathi poet Nagraj Manjule has struck a chord worldwide\, making many international “watch lists” for this exceptional and riveting directorial debut. The great dramatic tradition of forbidden love between lower-caste and upper-caste teenagers gets a powerful addition that’s anything but clichéd\, realizing instead a multidimensional narrative within a caste system at work. Winner of a National Award\, India. Winner\, Grand Jury Prize\, Mumbai International Film Festival. \nFollowed by panel discussion with:\nBenjamin P Kaila\, from Friends for Education International\, a non-profit that works on a number of Dalit causes including education\, and\nChristina Thomas Dhanaraj\, an emerging Dalit leader and feminist based out of Bangalore\, India.

SUMMARY:3rd i co-presents "Siddharth" at CAAMFest
DESCRIPTION:In New Delhi\, twelve-year-old Siddharth is sent by his father Mahendra to work in a trolley factory in another province to help support their family\, which includes his mother Suman and sister Pinky. Siddharth is supposed to come home in one month for Diwali. When he fails to return or call\, his distraught father begins a desperate search to find his missing son. \nA chain-wallah by trade (he fixes zippers in the street)\, Mahendra (Rajesh Tailang) is faced with many obstacles: he has no money\, he’s illiterate\, and\, perhaps most heartbreaking of all\, he has no photograph of his son. The authorities\, who scold an already guilt-ridden man for allowing his son to become a child labourer\, believe that Siddharth may have been abducted and trafficked; Mahendra is warned that in a population of more than a billion people\, a kidnapped child is virtually untraceable after two days. \nDirector Richie Mehta deftly brings to life Mahendra’s moving\, tangled\, and often futile-seeming journey with a neorealist touch that transforms it into a genuine human portrait. Mehta sets this quest within a hard-working community that is poor in so many ways\, yet rich in family and love. Beautifully paced\, the film’s emotional spectrum is thoughtfully measured\, resulting in deeply felt responses that avoid melodrama. \nAs he did in his remarkable debut film Amal\, Mehta presents us with a modern day fable about searching — for someone\, and much more. Riddled with mysteries\, Siddharth reminds us that sometimes there simply are no easy answers. A powerful story about the ramifications of a single decision and the limitations that result from poverty\, it underscores that\, as India itself has so often done\, in the face of the unspeakable one must keep moving forward.

SUMMARY:Good Morning Karachi
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker in Person!\nSumar\, best known for her astonishing feature Silent Waters\, makes a triumphant return with this uplifting tale. Chance and willfulness propel Rafina’s rise as a fashion model in the city of Karachi. As she climbs the social ladder\, Rafina is caught between two men with very different visions for Pakistan and on the role of women. In Sumar’s deft hands\, this becomes the story of today’s Pakistan\, trying to reconcile the demands of tradition and the aspirations of modernity. The film weaves these contradictions through the very landscape of Karachi\, where political extremism and the world of fashion can – and do – co-exist. \nFollowed by: an on-stage conversation between Sumar and Anusha Rizvi (director of Peepli Live) on the changing role of women in South Asian cinema. \n  \n\n \nEvent management for Good Morning Karachi 3rdifilms powered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Cocktail
DESCRIPTION:Bollywood at the Castro \nWatch trailer.\nA great cocktail needs the right mix – and this one only delivers but packs a punch\, and a twist! Homi Adjania takes the classic masala love triangle – complete with song and dance and high camp – and gives it a modern flavor (did someone say threesome?) in this recent blockbuster from Bollywood. Imtiaz Ali’s (director of Jab We Met and Rockstar) script keeps it fresh and tangy\, and Anil Mehta’s camerawork gives it style and flair. Saif Ali Khan (Omkara\, Dil Chahtha Hai) and Deepika Padukone (Om Shanti Om) look their sexiest selves\, Bollywood newcomer Diana Penty shines\, and Dimple Kapadia and Boman Irani deliver excellent performances as Gautam’s doting parents.

SUMMARY:Decoding Deepak
DESCRIPTION:Watch Trailer\nAn audience favorite at the SXSW Film Festival\, this intriguing portrait of Deepak Chopra has a raw honesty to it that only a son can bring. Filmmaker and journalist Gotham Chopra embarks on a year long road trip with his father in an attempt to resolve the spiritual icon from the family man. The journey takes him across the planet chronicling Deepak’s colorful activities – from a traditional monk ordainment in Thailand to a literal decoding of ancient family registers in rural India. Along the way\, we meet devoted disciples who range from celebrities like Lady Gaga to lost souls in the red rock deserts of Sedona. Interwoven through the travelogue is a closer look at the expansive spiritual empire built over the last 25 years – from a decidedly non-spiritual (and boozy) origin. Full of flaws\, foils\, intelligence\, and irreverence\, the decoded Deepak is a symbol of a world searching for answers in the most unlikely places and a deeper plunge into the meaning of identity itself.

SUMMARY:Lucky
DESCRIPTION:Watch Trailer\nDelicately crafted\, both in story and visual style\, this beautiful\, emotional tale explores the unusual alliance between an elderly Indian woman (with a irrational fear of Africans) and a South African orphan in post-Apartheid South Africa. Using a muted color palette to reflect themes of nostalgia and family connection\, Luthra unravels a complicated story featuring amazing performances from the two main actors. Filmed in Zulu\, Hindi\, and English\, Lucky is a true international production and represents a trend we are seeing in this year’s festival (along with Herman’s House and Sket) of South Asian directors telling stories from a multiplicity of viewpoints and cultural voices. A critical and audience favorite\, Lucky is based on Luthra’s earlier short of the same name\, which won over 40 international awards including an Oscar nomination.

SUMMARY:The World Before Her
DESCRIPTION:Watch Trailer\nSneak Peek. Young\, beautiful\, and ambitious\, Ankita and Ruhi compete in the Miss India pageant for the chance at a career in the beauty industry\, one of the few opportunities for women to find success and empowerment in contemporary India. On the opposite end of the spectrum from Miss India is Durga Vahini\, the women’s wing of the Hindu fundamentalist movement. Nisha Pahuja’s The World Before Her dramatizes the tension between traditional and modern perspectives toward women in today’s India through the juxtaposition of these two very different outlets for girls. Initially representing the two threads as mutually exclusive worldviews\, Pahuja ultimately draws surprising parallels in the way women are perceived and the opportunities that are afforded them at both extremes\, convincingly depicting each as real sources of both oppression and empowerment. The World Before Her is a riveting\, thoughtful profile of the fundamental contradictions of a country in transition.\n– Tribeca Film Festival

SUMMARY:Alms for a Blind Horse (Anhey Ghodey Da Daan)
DESCRIPTION:Watch Trailer\nThis striking film by first-time director Gurvinder Singh uses exquisite cinematography and an unusual cast of characters to portray a day in the life of a rural Punjabi family facing the demolition of their village. Indian film legend\, the late Mani Kaul\, was the executive producer on the film and his influence can been seen throughout in the film’s use of stillness\, silences and non-naturalistic approach to narrative. A beautiful soundtrack by Los Angeles based composer Catherine Lamb accentuates the poetic performances given by the non-professional cast. Alms for a Blind Horse swept the Indian National Film awards this spring and is the first Punjabi language film to hit the festival circuit.
