2019-11-23 11:00 - 12:30 | New York

Using my book M is for Mindful as a model, through a series of writing prompts, discover why you want to write the book you want to write. What gifts do you have to share, and why is it important to share them? What positive outcomes are possible? Why is this a good time for this particular book to be out in the world?

One of India's most vibrant directors, Mani Ratnam has directed or written some of the most memorable films in recent decades, including the controversial Bombay (1995). For Kannathil Muthamittal, he worked with famed Tamil author S. Rangarajan to adapt one of his populist novels for the screen. Amudha (P. S. Keerthana) is told by her parents on her ninth birthday that she was adopted, and that her birth mother came from Sri Lanka. Desperate to find her, Amudha secretly visits the orphanage to find out more. Her parents relent and take Amudha on a trip to Sri Lanka, only to find that her mother is a member of a militant organization.

2019-11-23 20:00 - 23:03 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Ghajini (A. R. Murugadoss, India 2008, 183 min., 35mm, Hindi and Urdu w/subtitles) as part of the Festival of Indian Cinema series.
This film's journey to the screen is nearly as complex as its plot. A Hindi reworking of the director's own 2005 Tamil film of the same name, the film has too many shadows of Christopher Nolan's Memento (2000) to be a coincidence. Sanjay (Aamir Khan) loses his memory every fifteen minutes and uses a system of photographs, notes, and tattoos to keep him anchored and focused on his mission: avenging the murder of his girlfriend. He has identified Ghajini Dharmatma (Pradeep Rawat) as the culprit, but a young medical student caught in the middle warns Ghajini that Sanjay is coming. This film became the highest-grossing of all time in India, in no small part due to music from the legendary A. R. Rahman.

2019-11-24 12:30 - 15:47 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen Mughal-E-Azam (K. Asif, India 1960, 197 min., 35mm, Urdu w/subtitles) followed by a panel discussion titled "Growing Up with Indian Cinema" as part of the Festival of Indian Cinema series.
Comparable to Gone With the Wind, this historical epic was the highest grossing film in India's history—and still is when adjusted for inflation. In the Mughal Empire of the sixteenth century, Prince Salim grows up spoiled and self-indulgent. His father sends him to war to "make a man of him," but doesn't like the result when Salim returns. Attracted to a court dancer, Salim enters a forbidden romance. When the emperor finds out, he throws the dancer in prison, which only pushes Salim further away. This 2004 release marked the first time a Hindi film was colorized, and the first time any Indian film was re-released in theaters.

Joe Fiedler's Big Sackbutt musical performance
2019-11-24 20:00 - 22:00 | Bop Shop Records, 1460 Monroe Ave., Rochester, New York, 14618, United States
Joe Fiedler's desire to lead a trombone-driven project was sparked in the 1980s after seeing The World Saxophone Quartet Live. It was a revelation to him, and eventually led to the creation of his critically-acclaimed low-brass aggregate (3 trombones and tuba), Big Sackbut. Downbeat Magazine said of the group, "The group rips, dances and converses . . . the quartet is so tight that they sound like one big, polyphonic low-brass organ. Each trombonist kills it." And emusic.comproclaimed that, "The titular trombonist-composer manages the too-rare feat of creating art while having a blast."
