Still from 'Mountain Patrol'. Still from 'Water'. Still from 'Sherry Baby'.

Mountain Patrol
-
a BFFS block booking title

What is thje story behind
the mysterious disappearance
of patrol volunteers,
the killing of rare Tibetan
antelopes and the
rumour that the
Mountain Patrol collaborates
with the poachers.

Water

Detailed and graced with
irreverent humor and
fine performances,
Mehta's film deals
powerful blows to
economic injustice
and misogyny.
- Peter Canavese

Sherry Baby

Sherry Swanson returns
home after serving a three
year prison sentence.
Eager to reestablish a
relationship with her
young daughter, she
discovers that coming back
to the world she left behind
is far more difficult than
she had planned.

Still from 'Infamous'. Still from 'The Singer'. Still from 'Lady Chatterley'.

Infamous

"It's a fascinating story,
told with consummate skill
by writer director
Douglas McGrath, who
explores the never-land
relationship that develops
between the infamous
author and his
controversial subject."

- Urban Cinefile Critics

The Singer
(Quand j'etais chanteur)

A French, musical,
small-town variant on
Lost in Translation that
deserves an equally
big audience.

- Boyd van Hoeij

Lady Chatterley

"Ultimately it is deeply
romantic. The exposure
that affects us most
deeply is...the nakedness
of soul and spirit as they
come closer to each other
than the coupling of
bodies alone can provide."

- Jonathan F. Richards
