	t\, director Carlos López Estrada’s Blindspotting\, scripted by its two ma
	gnetic stars Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal\, brims with a fierce hometown 
	pride. That spirit\, and his best friend Miles (Casal)\, sustains one-time
	 offender Collin (Diggs) as he anxiously counts down the final three days 
	of his parole. No race against the clock\, getting through is the game her
	e until Collin witnesses a police shooting while out after curfew and he’s
	 haunted by his decision not to get involved. As Collin runs out his time 
	beholden to the system\, Estrada renders a powerful portrait of the networ
	ks of systemic injustice — police violence\, gentrification\, economic ine
	quality — without a seeming expiration date. \n\n35mm\, color\, 95 min. Di
	rector: Carlos López Estrada. Screenwriter: Rafael Casal\, Daveed Diggs. W
	ith: Daveed Diggs\, Rafael Casal\, Janina Gavankar.\n\n\nBhaji on the Beac
	h\nU.K.\, 1993\n\nAs a group of British women of Indian descent board a bu
	s bound for the beach resort of Blackpool\, their guide cheerfully declare
	s their day trip a vacation from the “double yokes of racism and sexism.” 
	A wife and mother separating from her violent husband\, a med school-bound
	 student who just learned she’s pregnant\, an older “auntie” anxious about
	 spending her remaining years alone\, they and the others could indeed all
	 use the break. But of course the patriarchy comes calling regardless in c
	o-writer-director Gurinder Chadha’s groundbreaking debut feature\, by turn
	s delightful and earnest as tradition and identity clash on the boardwalk 
	over a single day. \n\n16mm\, color\, in English and Punjabi with English 
	subtitles\, 101 min. Director: Gurinder Chadha. Screenwriter: Gurinder Cha
	dha\, Meera Syal. With: \n\nKim Vithana\, Jimmi Harkishin\, Sarita Khajuri
