Raagaverse is an exciting Indo-Jazz fusion project spearheaded by Shruti Ramani (voice) in a collaboration with the award-winning Jodi Proznick (bass), the supremely talented Noah Franche-Nolan (piano, Nord), and the fiery Nicholas Bracewell (drums). Raagaverse’s music melds ancient and rich Hindustani melodies with dense and dynamic Jazz harmonies.

For this special show, Raagaverse will be delving into the vibrant world of Bollywood, from Lata Mangeshkar classics to A.R. Rahman’s magic. Shruti will share clips from the legendary Bollywood musicals which inspire her, counter-pointing them with the band’s unique take on these songs, in Raagaverse’s iconic jazz quartet sound.

The show will also feature other extraordinary musical guests; Kiarah O’Kane on backing vocals, Thad Bailey-Mai on Trumpet and Curtis Andrews on percussion alongside Raagaverse.

His Three Daughters

Dir. Azazel Jacobs
101 min

Three sisters -- Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olson, and Natasha Lyonne -- congregate to attend the final few days of their father's life. They bring with them years of barely-repressed jealousy and resentment, as well as wildly different personalities.

Girls Will Be Girls

Dir. Shuchi Talati
118 min

A prize-winner at Sundance, Shuchi Talati’s sensitive debut feature is an unusual coming-of-age drama for its nuanced and sympathetic portrait of mother-daughter dynamics in a sexually repressive culture; it doesn’t go where you expect.

Singing Back the Buffalo

Dir. Tasha Hubbard
99 min

Driven to the point of extinction in the 19th century, the buffalo is proving more resilient than once feared. Tasha Hubbard's rhapsodic doc weaves personal reflection, animated tales, observational reportage and gorgeous nature footage.

Nope

Dir. Jordan Peele
130 min

The third and most spectacular Jordan Peele joint is a whole lot of movie: it's a contemporary Black cowboy, UFO horror film, self-reflexive, very funny, and wildly ambitious.
