Ask the Sexpert is a feature length documentary about Dr. Mahinder Watsa, a highly popular 93-year-old sex advice columnist for a daily newspaper in Mumbai. Despite sex being a taboo topic in India, the column’s brand of non-moralistic advice and humor has embolden many to write in with their questions. The columnist gains popularity even while a ban on comprehensive sex education in schools is adopted by approximately a third of India’s states.

PRESS

“An intimate look at the way Indians talk about sex.”

–Huffington Post

“The Film deftly moves between Watsa, his conservative detractors and gorgeous footage of young lovers on the streets of Mumbai.”

–Globe and Mail

“I find it utterly impossible not to be charmed by Dr. Watsa, and by extension, by this documentary by Vaishali Sinha.”

–Cinema Axis

“Stooped and kindly, he’s India’s favorite straight-talking uncle, only one who advertises viagra as a sideline. He’s certainly a find.”

–Screen Daily

In 1961 Lithuanian American artist and impresario George Maciunas established the avant-garde art movement Fluxus. ​George​ details the rise of Fluxus following a sensationalized tour of “concerts” in Europe in 1962, and continuing in New York for most of the 1960s and ’70s. During this time Maciunas was converting the dying industrial buildings of Soho into a network of artists’ lofts, creating one of the first official real estate co-ops of artist-owned buildings. Maciunas’s life and legacy—as recounted by artists of his generation, including Yoko Ono and Jonas Mekas—ignited debates that remain pivotal to artists working today.

“Mr. Perkins livens up what could have been a dull talking-heads presentation with vortex-like editing, often dividing the screen into multiple panels and making inventive use of sound design.”
–The New York Times

“Perkins sees how Maciunas applied that taxonomic impulse to the unruly art world springing up around him. Yoko Ono and La Monte Young were hosting edgy concerts downtown; John Cage was freaking the music world out in classes at the New School; artist George Brecht was starting to use chance happenings and think of instructions as artworks.”
