A delicate ode to female friendship, Payal Kapadia’s narrative debut brilliantly captures the pace, colours and atmosphere of life in modern Mumbai. Nurse Prabha’s routine is upset when she receives an unexpected gift from her estranged husband. Her younger, more rebellious roommate, Anu, tries in vain to find a spot in the city to be intimate with her secret boyfriend. Their colleague Parvaty fights to stay in her home without the requisite paperwork from her late husband. A trip to a beach town allows them each to find a space for their desires to manifest.

Info: 150 mins | France-Belgium | 2024
Against the backdrop of the Cold War, the US State Department sends ‘jazz ambassadors’ Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, and Duke Ellington to Congo, a newly independent, resource-rich African nation, to deflect attention from the CIA-backed coup that would lead to the assassination of Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba. In the months that follow, drummer Max Roach leads Maya Angelou in a protest at the United Nations. Belgian director Johan Grimonprez’s bravura cinematic essay, drawn from a wealth of archival footage, newsreels, testimonials, and newly uncovered home movies, won the Special Jury Award for Cinematic Innovation at the Sundance Film Festival.
