03:30 AM My Friend The Polish Girl | Mojapolskadziewcznyn a
Dir.:EwaBanaszkiewicz , MateuszDymek | Poland, Great Britain | 2018 | 87'
“The Power and Control Over Intimacy”“The Power and Control Over Intimacy”My Friend The Polish Girl borrows from cinema verite and video bloggers to create a rare naturalism in style and performance. The fiction film watches as an experimental documentary told through the eyes (and lens) of amateur filmmaker Katie: an American rich kidfollowing Alicja, an erratic unemployed Polish actress. Set in a post-Brexit-vote London, Katie's colonising, disruptive presence in Alicja's life mirrors the treatment of migrants in the UK: Welcomed, used, then discarded. A raw, sexual, and visually brash film exploring the abusive power and control over someone's intimacy.
05:30 PM The Great Actress | Mahanati
Dir.:Nagashwin | India | 2018 | 173'
Mahanati (The Great Actress) is an epic tale about the rise of south Indian films' first ever lady superstar SAVITRI. Her life, journey to fame and dramatic downfall make her story one of the most heart wrenching romantic tragedies ever. The narrative also focuses on the birth and early days of the film Industry in the country. The film draws parallels between the life of Savitri and the effect of such icons on younger generations, through a journalist named Madhuravani uncovering the story of Savitri herself, in the 80s. The lessons we learn from her story are relevant even today across cultures and languages.
