With characters and a storyline that could be straight from “The Maltese Falcon,” The Bengali Detective is a documentary that reads like a Kolkata noir. It will enchant, move, and surprise audiences. (Fox Searchlight has already nailed down remake rights.)

Three classic folktales from far-flung locations make the transition to the big screen in award-winning Dutch filmmaker Sander Francken’s Bardsongs.  Stories of garbage collectors, hardheaded farmers, and one student's pursuit of the greatest part of knowledge are all sung by local celebrities who have grown up with these tales. 

Veteran Indian director Raja Sen brings this short story by the celebrated Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore to the silver screen.

A watchman and his wife living at an abandoned mine find themselves trapped in the brutal schemes of their tyrannical landlord in this suspenseful, visually striking drama set on the urban outskirts of Delhi. When the landlord offers his daughter to a wealthy potential buyer of the mine, she and her lower-caste lover run away. The watchman reluctantly helps them, but a sinister masked killer dispatched to hunt down the runaways endangers them all. A searing take on the politics of caste and money in a rapidly developing economy, Sidharth Srinivasan’s eccentric thriller delves into the dark interstices between Indian modernity and tradition.
