| OFFICIAL SELECTION - UN CERTAIN REGARD |
| MISS LOVELY by ASHIM AHLUWALIA |
|
 |
|
 |
|
India, 2012, 115’, Hindi, Drama
Cast: Nawazuddin Siddiqui (KAHAANI), Niharika Singh (former Miss India), Anil George
| Set against the colorfully garish, seedy, and exotic backdrop of Bombay’s “C” movie business of the 1980’s when the underbelly of Bollywood churned out sleazy social dramas, campy horror films and erotic bandit pictures with titles like “Dolly Darling” and “Lady James Bond”, MISS LOVELY tells the tale of two brothers immersed in this universe who eventually turn on each other in a sordid tale of betrayal, doomed love, jealousy and revenge. MISS LOVELY is a tribute to the Bollywood underground, an audacious cinema with wild cinemascope compositions, lurid art direction, rollicking background soundtracks, and gut-wrenching melodrama. |

INTERNATIONAL MARKET PREMIERE
Cuba / UK / USA, 2012, 90’, Spanish
Cast: Dariel Arrechaga, Anailín de la Rúa de la Torre, Javier Núñez Florián
|
Mired in the nervous desperation of Havana, Raul dreams of escaping to Miami. When accused of assault, his only option is to flee Cuba. He begs his best friend, Elio, to abandon everything and help him reach the forbidden world 90 miles across the ocean. Elio’s commitment is tested when he is torn between protecting his twin sister and his own desire to get out. Brimming with the nervous energy of Havana’s restless youth and the evocative cinematography of the sun-bleached capital, UNA NOCHE follows one sweltering day, full of hope and fraught with tension, that burns to a shocking climax.
