As this “ethno-romp” illustrates, where there is a will, there is way! We meet football fans from three remote corners of the earth: the steppes of Mongolia, the rainforests of the Amazon and the Tenere Desert of Niger, respectively, who devise (often hilarious and farcical) means to overcome their isolated locations (500 Km or more distance away from a town with a t.v. screen) in order to watch the final match of the 2002 World Cup (Germany vs. Brazil). 

Saturday, April 28th - 2:30 pm - Bell Auditorium

Director: Goutam Ghose

A superb must-see film, in which award-winning director Goutam Ghose elicits powerful performances from an acclaimed cast including Nana Patekar, Deepti Naval and the ageless Rekha. Ghose’s sharp scripting and direction gradually build the drama into an electrifying sequence of events where fact and fiction tensely oscillate.

Far away in the Peruvian Andes, there are isolated villages where tribes, full of religious fervor, believe that during Holy Week, God doesn’t exist and anything goes. In one such strange place, from Good Friday at three o’clock in the afternoon (just when Christ dies on the cross) to Easter Sunday, the whole village can do whatever it feels like.

Director: Alexander Leclere

A wonderful French “kitchen sink” drama, a tale of two mis-matched sisters, perhaps more aptly described by its French title,  Les Soeurs Fâchées (The Angry Sisters)!  Growing up in a small town in the provinces, older sister Martine now lives in the Parisian upper middle class with snobbish friends and a boring husband.  Her younger sister,Louise – natural and straightforward -- works as a beautician in a provincial town.
