Content: Cultures and families clash in Mira Nair's exuberant Monsoon Wedding, a mix of comedy and chaotic melodrama concerning the preparations for the arranged marriage of a modern upper-middle-class Indian family's only daughter, Aditi. Of course there are hitches̶Aditi has been having an affair with a married TV host; she's never met her husband to be, who lives in Houston; the wedding has worsened her father's hidden financial troubles; even the wedding planner has become a nervous wreck̶as well as buried family secrets. But Nair's celebration is ultimately joyful and cathartic: a love song to her home city of Delhi and her own Punjabi family. (covertext)

Content: "India" (HD, 2000, 11:50), was part of the film '11'09"1,' which gave filmmakers the chance to comment on the 9/11 and its aftermath in 11 minutes, 9 seconds, and 1 frame. In the intro to this segment (HD, 3:17), Nair talks about how it was inspired by a real life Brooklyn family, whose young adult son went missing after 9/11. The short film takes the bent that he was picked up by some intelligence group and never heard from again; really powerful stuff. (HighDef Digest)

How can it be? : fiction film ; [DVD-Video] (2009)

Nair, Mira

UID:

kobvindex_ZLB15178939

Format: 9 Min. , NTSC

Content: "How Can It Be?" (HD, 2008, 9:07), which Nair explains on the intro (HD, 5:04) was based on a series of U.N. Global Initiatives. Nair's film is about the woman's right to express oneself and this is probably the weakest short of the bunch, bogged down by dreary politicizing as a woman makes a decision to live for herself.

Format: 60 Min. , NTSC

Content: "India Cabaret" (HD, 1985, 59:42) ... also comes with an introduction from the director (HD, 7:50), and focuses on female strippers in India. Of course, it's interesting to see the differences in the way that strippers are portrayed in American films versus how strippers are in India. But even more fascinating is how this was the seed of another future Nair project, 1988's feature film 'Salaam Bombay,' particularly in its portrayal of India's lower classes. (HighDef Digest)

Content: "Migration" (HD, 2008, 9:07) ... [as] Nair explains on the intro (HD, 3:50) was commissioned by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to inspire education. What's so amazing is that it's a story about AIDS that isn't preachy, and that doesn't put the blame on any kind of sex (there's both heterosexual and homosexual sex presented). At the end, it's a bit of a mystery too, as you try to trace the virus from partner to partner, social class to social class. To say anymore would be criminal, but "Migration" is not to be missed.

Format: 11 Min. , NTSC

Content: "The Day the Mercedes Became a Hat" (HD, 1993, 11:21), comes with an intro from Nair (HD, 4:39) where she explains that the film was commissioned by super-producer Brian Grazer, who wanted to do a series of shorts on the human family. It's about the fallout in South Africa following Chris Hani's assassination and follows one white family as they leave the home they've always known, due to the political tumult. It's amazing how powerful the movie is, and how short it is, too. (HighDef Digest)
