SUMMARY:WHILE WE WATCHED
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Vinay Shukla in person!\nSan Francisco Premiere\nA riveting and essential film\, WHILE WE WATCHED\, directed by 3rd i alum Vinay Shukla (AN INSIGNIFICANT MAN)\, is an award-winning gem of a doc and not to be missed. It is an urgent reminder that we have much to lose if we can no longer tell fact from fiction. The film smartly captures the state of contemporary news media with a powerful character study of Ravish Kumar\, prime-time Indian TV news anchor and journalist\, and his unshakable quest to speak the truth and to hold power to account. \nShukla’s documentary poignantly chronicles the challenges Kumar faces as he strives to uphold standards of independence and accountability in the press. The emphasis of the film is on Kumar\, and his perseverance against the normalization of authoritarianism\, which forms the heartbeat of the story. \nWHILE WE WATCHED is fast-paced\, with sharp and unflinching commentary\, and is essential viewing for anyone interested in how journalism and democracy are under threat. Although the film is rooted in India\, its depiction of how misinformation is eroding fact-based news could apply to many countries. \nWINNER – Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF)\, Amplify Voices Award 2022\nWINNER – Busan International Film Festival\, Busan Cinephile Award 2022

SUMMARY:ANIMAL
DESCRIPTION:See only at the Roxie Theater; not available online.\nCyril Dion’s insightful and transformative documentary takes a fresh look at the world’s ecological crises of climate change and the sixth mass extinction of wildlife\, through the eyes of two 16-year-old environmental activists\, Vipulan Puvaneswaran and Bella Lack. \nThrough the extraordinary investigative journey of teenagers Vipulan\, of Sri Lankan descent from France\, and of Bella\, from England\, we learn from scientists and activists what is being done around the world to attempt to reverse mass extinction\, revealing a quest for another way of living alongside other species\, as co-habitants rather than predators. \nThe young activists take us to the source of the problem\, which is hopefully the solution\, too: our relationship to the living world. Through their confrontation of this reality\, we become more deeply aware of how we are linked to all other species\, and that by saving them\, we also save ourselves\, providing the possibility of a brighter future. As Dion explains\, “The human being believed that he could separate himself from nature\, but he is nature. He too is an Animal.” \nGolden Eye nominee\, Cannes Film Festival 2021\nYouth Jury Prize winner\, International French Film Festival of Namur 2021

SUMMARY:IN SEARCH OF BENGALI HARLEM
DESCRIPTION:See only at the Roxie Theater\, not available online.\nFilmmakers Vivek Bald and Alaudin Ullah in person for Q&A!\nIn Search of Bengali Harlem is a transformative journey for Alaudin Ullah\, and for our understanding of the complex histories of South Asian Americans. \nAs a teenager in 1980s Harlem\, Alaudin Ullah was swept up in the revolutionary energy of early hip-hop. He rejected his working-class Bangladeshi parents and turned his back on everything South Asian and Muslim until he became an adult.  In Search of Bengali Harlem follows Ullah\, from the streets of New York City to the villages of Bangladesh to uncover the pasts of his father\, Habib\, and mother\, Mohima. He discovers that Habib was part of an extraordinary history of mid-20th century Harlem\, in which Bengali men\, dodging racist Asian Exclusion laws\, married into New York’s African American and Puerto Rican communities – and in which the likes of Malcolm X and Miles Davis shared space and broke bread with immigrants from the subcontinent.

SUMMARY:FOUR SAMOSAS
DESCRIPTION:See only at the Roxie Theater\, not available online.\nFilmmaker/actor Ravi Kapoor and actor Venk Potula in person for Q&A!!\nCalifornia Premiere\nWritten and directed by Ravi Kapoor (Miss India America)\, this fun romantic comedy affectionately incorporates Indian cultural ideals into an American heist movie genre\, creating a mixture or “masala” reviewed as the most unique film to come out of this year’s Tribeca Film Festival.  \nShot in vibrant\, saturated color reminiscent of Wes Anderson\, the narrative brims with scrappy\, indie-spirit in which underachieving wanna-be rapper Vinny and his neighborhood pals plan to disrupt his ex-girlfriend’s wedding by stealing her family’s jewels from a supermarket safe. \nCentered in “Little India” in Artesia\, California\, the comedy taps into the various aspects of the customs and the food in the area. Through the film’s nuanced and whimsical plot\, the characters celebrate various aspects of South Asian American culture with their infectious spirit.

SUMMARY:3rd i Co-presents at the SF Green Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Watermark reunites award-winning filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal and renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky (Manufactured Landscapes) as they weave together diverse global stories that show our relationship with water. Their message resonates with California’s current water shortages\, as it shows our dependence on and fight to control water. We see massive floating abalone farms off China’s Fujian coast and the construction site of the biggest arch dam in the world – the Xiluodu. We visit the barren desert delta where the mighty Colorado River no longer reaches the ocean\, and the water-intensive leather tanneries of Dhaka. Shot in stunning 5K ultra high-definition video and full of soaring aerial perspectives\, these images come together with a soundtrack that is both beautiful and haunting. In Watermark\, the viewer is immersed in a world defined by a magnificent force of nature that we often take for granted – until it’s gone. \nPLUS: Panel Discussion – Water in the West\nWhat is the future of water in California? As we face the worst drought in decades\, how do we balance the lack of water with pressure from agriculture\, fracking and a growing population. Take part in a lively conversation with leading local experts to determine a more sustainable future\, for one of our most precious resources. Panelists include Jason Mark\, Editor\, Earth Island Journal; additional guests to be announced.

SUMMARY:Adda: Calcutta/Kolkata
DESCRIPTION:Adda is one of those Bengali words that is so difficult to translate into English. A gossip session\, an intellectual discussion\, a never-ending conversation all rolled into one\, adda is the quintessential Bengali pastime. Following a number of ongoing addas at street corners\, cafes\, markets and living rooms\, this documentary by Surjo Deb and Ranjan Palit is a free-flowing\, intimate portrait of a city and its people in a time of transition: as malls and high-rises replace the old architecture of the skyline\, youngsters move out of the city looking for better opportunities\, the traffic gets worse and the city’s name changes from Calcutta to Kolkata. Co-director Ranjan Palit is a National Award-winning filmmaker\, whose film In Camera was showcased at 3rd i’s SFISAFF 2010.

SUMMARY:Jagte Raho (Stay Awake)
DESCRIPTION:Classic\nSomething of a departure for Kapoor\, Jagte Raho is a joint Bengali-Hindi film with expressionist touches meant to provide a comic yet critical survey of middle class life in India’s cities. Kapoor plays a familiar role: a poor wanderer from the country\, he enters an apartment building in search of a drink of water. Taken as a thief by the inhabitants\, he flees from flat to flat\, encountering a cross-section of the building’s inhabitants. Kapoor produced this film for collaborators he had met through his father’s work in the theater and the leftist Indian Peoples’ Theatre Association. Co-director Sombhu Mitra was one of the giants of 20th-century Bengali theater\, while scenarist K.A. Abbas – who also worked on Awaara – was a prominent writer\, critic and director and a major founder of India’s “parallel” cinema. The outstanding songs were composed by Salil Choudary and feature Shailendra’s poetry.\n– Harvard Film Archive
