After the movie, we will gather in the lobby for lively, provocative, and insightful conversation--OR as close as we can come to that, anyway--HA!

SISTER MIDNIGHT, the audacious debut feature from London-based Indian artist and filmmaker Karan Kandhari, follows rebellious small-town misfit Uma (played by acclaimed Indian actress Radhika Apte) as she arrives in Mumbai, only to find herself completely unsuited to life as a housewife.

Clashing with nosy neighbors and overwhelmed by the city’s relentless heat and noise, Uma chooses to defy societal expectations and forge her own path in this bold, unpredictable, and darkly funny film.

Featuring a distinctive visual style and an eclectic soundtrack—marking Interpol frontman Paul Banks’ debut as a composer—the film had its world premiere at Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight and went on to win Best Film in the Next Wave section at Fantastic Fest.

> “SISTER MIDNIGHT quietly rebels against the arbitrary rules of filmmaking to create something supremely self-assured in voice and style. The film is both masterfully unadorned and wholly original, steering forward confidently under Kandari’s guidance. It’s a movie best viewed with absolutely no primer, a delicious little adventure with a humorous — and human — heart.” —Proma Khosla, IndieWire
> “SISTER MIDNIGHT breaks free from the shackles of submissive feminine stereotypes and raucously leans into a woman behaving very, very badly.” —Hanna Flint, Time Out
> “In SISTER MIDNIGHT, it is the oddball who rules, and Uma, surrounded by fluttering (zombie) birds – not to mention bleating goats — is like a weirdo Disney princess, and queen of the misfits…. Adroll, strange, cool freak of a film.” —Anton Bitel, Little White Lies

NOTE: On Rotten Tomatoes, this movie has a 97% on the Tomatometer.
