SUMMARY:26th United Nations Association Film Festival - TO KILL A TIGER Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 26th annual United Nations Association Film Festival in Palo Alto for the screening of TO KILL A TIGER\, directed by Nisha Pahuja. Please note that this film contains material that may be considered a sensitive subject matter for some audiences. \nDescription:\nOn the night of a family wedding in Jharkand\, India\, Ranjit fears the worst after waking up to find his daughter is not home. Dragged into the woods\, she was gang raped by three men. The village solution is to marry her to one of them. Ranjit refuses. Instead\, he challenges the status quo\, determined to get justice for his daughter. On his quest\, he works with a gender-justice NGO that sees in him an example for other men to follow. As the financial and emotional pressure of the case mounts\, the villagers turn against Ranjit\, and the boys’ families threaten murder. \nBiography:\nNisha Pahuja is a freelance filmmaker\, writer\, producer\, and researcher. Her third film\, The World Before Her\, won the World Documentary Competition Award at Tribeca Film Festival\, where it premiered. The film depicts two young women who live miles apart but also worlds away—contestants in the Miss India pageant in Mumbai and the young women at a fundamentalist Hindu camp in nearby Aurangabad. The film is a meditation on the nature of women’s empowerment in an India still dominantly patriarchal. \nCornelia Principe has been working in documentary production\, starting out as a broadcaster\, and then moving to independent producer and director. Currently in production on the one-off Grinder\, recent projects include the feature The Rise and Fall of the Grumpy Burgel and theGemini award-winning Diamond Road\, which she Co-produced for TVOntario\, History Television\, Discovery Times and Arte/ZDF. Other credits include: Producer for PTV Productions on the series Resolutions for Discovery Health and The Life Channel; Directed and Co-produced Poverty\, Chastity\, Obedience; Co-produced Divorce What I See with Producer/ Director Sun-Kyung Yi and worked with Emmy award-winning Producer/ Director Shelley Saywell on several of her acclaimed documentaries including\, A Child’s Century of War which was short-listed for an Oscar and Legacy of Terror. From 1993-1997 Cornelia was the Associate Producer for TVO’s social-political documentary strands The View From Here and Human Edge.

SUMMARY:Indian films playing at the Mostly British Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:ALL THAT BREATHES\nWinning top documentary this year\, both the Golden Eye Award at Cannes and the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance\, this film tells the remarkable story of two brothers intent on rescuing the meat-eating black kites that sail across the polluted skies of New Delhi. So much dirt and division scar New Dehli\, but co-exist with the breath-taking beauty of nature captured by Shaunak Sen’s film. Here the brothers treat the birds that literally fall from the sky\, injured and choked by smog – nearly 26\,000 injured kites to date….” When I let a bird go after healing it and it flies away\, I feel pure joy\,” says Nadeem\, the elder brother. Beautiful\, touching film. Shortlisted for an Academy Award. \nUK/India 2022 (97 minutes) \nThe Director of ALL THAT BREATHES\, Shaunak Sen will be attending the screening on February 16th at 5:00pm at the Vogue Theater. He will introduce the film and there will be a red carpet for photo-ops and short interview sound bites. \nBUY TICKETS
