Gandhi My Father
Directed by: Firoz Abbaz Khan
146 Minutes / Hindi
Gandhi My Father is a powerful study of the nature and sufferings of the
patriarchal relationship between one of the world's most loved figures -
'Mahatma' Gandhi - and his misfortunate eldest son Harilal. The film delves
into a territory that has never before been visited by film, and will spark
debate by bringing to light an unknown facet of the personal history of a man
who transformed the soul of a nation, but who could not save the soul of his
own son. Based on his thought-provoking play, Mahatma v/s Gandhi, veteran
thespian of Indian theatre and cinema Feroz Khan has combined his unparalleled
talents as a writer and director with the production skills of fellow industry
stalwart Anil Kapoor, to create the most affecting film of modern times.
Although inspired by the philosophies and teachings of one of the greatest men
of the modern world, the groundbreaking Gandhi My Father is far from a biopic
account or portrayal of Gandhi's struggle towards
India's independence.
The lead actor of Gandhi My Father, Darshan Jariwala who plays Gandhi in the
film will be present during the screening.

In modern Britain, young Asian women are still denied the right to choose their

Iraq: The Lost Generation
Directed by: Ed Robbins
43 Minutes / English Sub title
In the past five years more than four million Iraqis – 20 per cent of the
entire population – have been driven from their homes as a result of the war
and sectarian bloodshed. Two million have become exiles, living desperate lives
across the border in Syria and Jordan. Filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy
investigates the biggest and most catastrophic refugee crisis in the Middle
East since the Palestinian diaspora of 1948. The film travels to Syria and
Jordan to investigate the plight of Iraqi refugees. These are the very people
on whom the new, democratic Iraq was to be built – the professional middle
classes – nearly half of whom now live as desperate refugees, driven out by the
violence and civil breakdown.

Reel Bad Arabs
Directed by: Sut Jhally
50 minutes / English subtitle
Against the chaotic backdrop of ongoing war and conflict in the Middle East and
rising fears of terrorism in the West, the makers of the critically-acclaimed
documentaries Peace, Propaganda, and the Promised Land and Edward Said: On
Orientalism have produced a powerful and important new film based on Jack
Shaheen's best-selling book, Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People.
Reel Bad Arabs takes a devastating tour of the American cinematic landscape,
moving from the earliest days of silent film to today's biggest Hollywood
blockbusters to reveal an astonishing pattern of slanderous Arab stereotyping.
The documentary isolates and examines America's most persistent Arab
caricatures, from over-sexed Bedouin bandits and submissive maidens to sinister
sheikhs and blood-thirsty terrorists, providing striking insights into the
origin of these images, their disturbing similarities to anti-Semitic and other
racist and ethnocentrist stereotypes and their resurgence and political
resonance during key moments of crisis in U.S. history.

Is God Deaf?
Directed by: Sanjivan Lal
29 minutes / English subtitle
"Is God Deaf?" is a true story of a senior citizen who single handedly fought
the establishment and the fundamentalist to get the use of loudspeakers banned
in the name of religion after 10pm at night- all for a peaceful and a good
night sleep!
Blood and Oil
Directed by: Jeremy Earp
52 minutes / English subtitle
The notion that oil is a reason for America's military engagements in the
Middle East is often disregarded as nonsense or mere conspiracy theory. Blood
and Oil, a new documentary based on the critically acclaimed work of Nation
magazine defense correspondent Michael T. Klare, challenges this conventional
wisdom to correct the historical record. The film unearths declassified
documents and highlights forgotten passages in prominent presidential doctrines
to show how concerns about oil have been at the core of American foreign policy
for more than 60 years — rendering our contemporary energy and military
policies virtually indistinguishable.
