3rd i’s San Francisco International South Asian Film Festival 2022

Celebrate with 3rd i for its 20 th Annual SF International South Asian Film Festival – Bollywood
and Beyond! This year’s festival showcases edgy narratives, fun indie films, and unique music
documentaries from South Asia and its Diaspora, including stories from India, Pakistan,
Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, France, UK, Canada and the USA. We peer back in time at the
interwoven black and brown histories in America, we visit the 90s legendary South Asian British
music scene, and we take a spectacular gaze at classic Bollywood. We look to the future, giving
ear to young voices confronting the realities of our global environmental crisis and finding hope.
Familial roots are examined in post colonial India and contemporary Queer communities. And
lightness abounds with comedic relief in 3rd i’s signature Shorts and the quirky escapades of a
heist movie, while women filmmakers shine bright!
