This is part of India’s New Wave, a monthly showcase for contemporary Indian films that go beyond the Bollywood spectacle. In the September film, a panoramic vision of life in modern Mumbai unfolds through three alternately absurd, funny, and tragic vignettes. From the story of a humorless office worker venturing outside his cubicle for a mandatory day of forced fun to a portrait of an unhappy family drawn into a fantasy soap opera world, Island City explores issues like gender roles and urban alienation with insight, humor, and a touch of the surreal.
When: Sunday, September 18, 6:30PM
