Experiments from India intertwined with dreamlike love triangles. Female anger is heard in duet with the macho slogans of career-obsessed businessmen. Buildings and political systems collapse – and then the gate to the afterlife bursts open in a police station. Little monkeys meet a giant fish and a horse girl, then join forces to imitate the world. Activist cinema makes an appearance, showing itself to be eloquent and polyphonic in the face of global crises. The film...

Cory Reeder's new short Smash or Pass will have its worldwide debut at Slamdance 2024 on January 19th.
Reeder wrote Smash or Pass to laugh at the YUCK of modern dating. While so many narrative films showcasing disability are dramatic or depressing, The five minute short ends on a high note. There is so much more to life! The PWD (people with disabilities) he knows are fun, smart, creative, and sexy; they party, fall in love, break up, and hate Mondays just l...

RSIFF 06: Competing against the best
I wrote about Insha’Allah, a Boy in the last instalment. Now I shall talk about the other competition films I have seen.
BEHIND THE MOUNTAINS
A meta-physical film that starts with a man entering the office where he works, and smashing the furniture. He then jumps out of the window, and behold! He survives the fall. The man is Rafik, is a desperate man. He is now convinced he can fly, and is determined, in the face of his family scepticism, ...

RSIFF, 03: Elusive interviews, while the stars emerge from the Red Sea
Some three weeks before the festival began, while still in Mumbai, I thought of doing an exclusive interview with Shivani Pandya Malhotra, and some 2-3 other curtain-raisers. Now this could only be done via video or audio or email. I was ready for any of the three modes. But I had no way of contacting these officials, and approached the PR agency to help me out, which said that organising interviews were st...
RSIFF: A Colourful Ocean of remarkable films at the Red Sea
A film festival named after the Red Sea? Where is the Red Sea? Let me see…it touches Eritrea, Djibouti, Egypt and Jeddah. A film festival in Jeddah? Ok, so Jeddah is by the sea, and a good location to hold a film festival. A film festival organised in Saudi Arabia? You will be surprised.
Incidentally, this was not the first edition, but the third. For me, though, it was the first.
Another surprise, to an Indian, was that a c...

Red Sea International Film Festival, 2023, 01: A royal pilgrimage for film-buffs
On the registration form, there was question, ‘Will you be going to the Medina pilgrimage?’ I wasn’t, so I typed, “No”. On the Saudi Airlines direct flight from Mumbai to Jeddah, the man seated behind me asked me the same question. “I could take you to Medina. It is only 480 kms from Jeddah, but at 180 kms per hour, we will take you there in no time.” Turned out th...
