Amit Masurkar (India, 2017, 106mins)
Amit Masurkar's smart and engaging black comedy finds humor in the tenuous nature of democracy, a hard task on the global stage at the present. When conscientious clerk, Newton, is placed on election duty in the conflict-ridden “tribal” area of Chhattisgarh - a democratic stress-center - he must keep devious military personnel and oddball bureaucrats in check, even as the voters remain strangely absent.
WHY WE RECOMMEND ADVANCE TICKETING? We recommend buying tickets online in advance as The New People Cinema has fewer seats than our previous venues, and some showings will surely sell out. Online tickets ($11/film) are cheaper than at-the-door tickets ($13/film), and passes can only be purchased online!
