Doc Film Institute Copresents:
Brava Theater, Friday, Nov 14
7:30pm The Sky Below
Dir: Sarah Singh, 2007, India/Pakistan, 75 mins
Armed with a video camera and a backpack, filmmaker Sara Singh traversed through dangerous territory in India and Pakistan to examine whether sixty years after the brutal partition of the subcontinent, recognition of a shared past and common culture can bring about peace between the two countries.
Castro Theatre, Saturday, Nov 15
1:45pm Lakshmi and Me
Dir: Nishtha Jain, 2007, India/USA/Denmark/Finland, 60 mins
Director Nishtha Jain in person
"What sin did I commit to be born a woman?" asks Lakshmi. Jain's documentary sensitively explores the personal and the political: gender, class, and the ethics of representation become touch points between filmmaker and subject, mistress and maid.
Castro Theatre, Sunday, Nov 16
3:30pm Flow: For Love of Water
Dir: Irene Salina, USA, 2007, 93 mins
Followed by panel discussion with Prof. Ashok Gadgil, UC Berkeley; Ritu Primlani, Thimmmakka; Patrick McCully, International Rivers; Amit Srivastava, India Resource Center
India, Bolivia, South Africa, United States -- different countries, same problem: the world's primary resource is being hijacked by corporate greed. In this inspiring and visually stunning doc, Salina travels across the world, documenting how dedicated activists (like Vandana Shiva) are challenging the Goliaths, and offering creative, sustainable solutions from the ground-up.
6:00pm The Glow of White Women
Dir: Yunus Vally, South Africa, 2007, 78 mins
Bad-boy Indian raconteur Yunus Vally was convinced that the virgins of paradise would all be white. Vally's probing and provocative doc examines images of white women in the dark continent and playfully deconstructs his sexual politics in South Africa under apartheid.
