1 FaverShareViewed: 5 TimesQuoted: “What sin did I commit to be born a woman?” These chilling words of 21-year-old housemaid Lakshmi reverberate throughout Mumbai-based filmmaker Nishtha Jain’s extraordinary documentary. Jain turns the camera on her part-time maid, and in the process illuminates the complex relationship between employer and servant, filmmaker, and subject.
Jan and I are going to see this tonight at 9:30. Anyone else in the mood for a SIFF film?

Checking this documentary out tomorrow. It seems like such a universal, bittersweet story about "progress"... hopefully it'll live up to this great SIFF review!
2 FaversShareViewed: 11 TimesQuoted: Ostensibly a look at four old-world Austrian businesses that won’t survive gentrification, this rewarding documentary is really about the quiet moments and the banter that takes place among the aging proprietors. Beautifully shot and absolutely charming, it recalls of a time when community was more important than consumerism.
Saw this last night.

When a sooth-sayer predicts that she will be a great dancer one day, she goes to work in the house of the local landlady, Rama Devi (Urmila Dammannagari), in hopes of learning Kuchipudi dance while earning a keep.

A public experiment that was better in theory than in practice: "In the end, the restrooms, installed in early 2004, had become so filthy, so overrun with drug abusers and prostitutes, that although use was free of charge, even some of the city’s most destitute people refused to step inside them."
1 FaverViewed: 3 TimesQuoted: After spending $5 million, Seattle officials decided to close the city’s five automated public toilets, which had become filthy and costly.
