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 URL:https://www.thirdi.org/event/good-morning-karachi/ LOCATION:Castro Theatre\, 429 Castro Street\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94114\, United States CATEGORIES:2013,festivals ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.thirdi.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/GoodMorningKarachi1.jpg GEO:37.7612811;-122.4348555 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Castro Theatre 429 Castro Street San Francisco CA 94114 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=429 Castro Street:geo:-122.4348555,37.7612811 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20131109T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20131109T153000 DTSTAMP:20150928T210706Z CREATED:20131003T104405Z LAST-MODIFIED:20150928T210706Z UID:10007678-1384011000-1384011000@www.thirdi.org SUMMARY:Gulabi Gang DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker in Person!\nNishtha Jain (City of Photos\, Lakshmi and Me) returns to the Bay Area with this thriller disguised as a documentary! In Bundelkhand\, India\, a revolution is in the making as the fiery women of the Gulabi Gang take up the fight against gender violence\, caste oppression and widespread corruption. Undeterred by sneering policemen and condescending bureaucrats\, founder Sampat Pal leads the pink sari-clad women on a remarkable\, and impressive crusade for truth and justice.

The doc follows the story of these three characters\, leading up to the World Cup of Cricket in the spring of 2011\, and chronicles their struggle to celebrate this beloved sport against overwhelming odds in life.

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.

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.

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.

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 URL:https://www.thirdi.org/event/the-world-before-her/ LOCATION:Castro Theatre\, 429 Castro Street\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94114\, United States CATEGORIES:2012,festivals,films ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.thirdi.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/TheWorldBeforeHer_700w-500x281.jpg GEO:37.7612811;-122.4348555 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Castro Theatre 429 Castro Street San Francisco CA 94114 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=429 Castro Street:geo:-122.4348555,37.7612811 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20120922T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20120922T120000 DTSTAMP:20130720T010706Z CREATED:20130720T004715Z LAST-MODIFIED:20130720T010706Z UID:10007654-1348315200-1348315200@www.thirdi.org 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.
