Avatar takes us to a spectacular world beyond imagination, where a newcomer from Earth embarks on an epic adventure, ultimately fighting to save the alien world he has learned to call home.

We enter the alien world through the eyes of Jake Sully, a former Marine confined to a wheelchair. But despite his broken body, Jake is still a warrior at heart. He is recruited to travel light years to the human outpost on Pandora, where a corporate consortium is mining a rare mineral that is the key to solving Earth's energy crisis. Because Pandora's atmosphere is toxic, they have created the Avatar Program, in which human "drivers" have their consciousness linked to an avatar, a remotely-controlled biological body that can survive in the lethal air. These avatars are genetically engineered hybrids of human DNA mixed with DNA from the natives of Pandora... the Na'vi.

Reborn in his avatar form, Jake can walk again. He is given a mission to infiltrate the Na'vi, who have become a major obstacle to mining the precious ore. But a beautiful Na'vi female, Neytiri, saves Jake's life, and this changes everything. Jake is taken in by her clan, and learns to become one of them, which involves many tests and adventures. As Jake's relationship with his reluctant teacher Neytiri deepens, he learns to respect the Na'vi way and finally takes his place among them. Soon he will face the ultimate test as he leads them in an epic battle that will decide the fate of an entire world.

3 idiots

Date: Fri, 05 Mar 2010 to Fri, 12 Mar 2010 Time: 03:00 PM

Synopsis

Two friends embark on a quest for a lost buddy. On this journey they encounter a long forgotten bet, a wedding they must crash and a funeral that goes impossibly out of control.

As they make their way through the perilous landscape, another journey begins: their inner journey through memory lane and the story of their friend–the irrepressible free- thinker Rancho(Aamir Khan), who in his unique way, touches and changes their lives.

It is a story of their hostel days that swings between Rancho college romance with the spirited Pia (Kareena), and his clash with an oppressive mentor (Boman Irani).

Finally, in misty mountains of unparalleled beauty, the friends (R Madhavan and Sharman Joshi) find the key to the secret that they seek.

‘3 Idiots’ is a comedy of ideas that is as provocative as it is funny, as wildly entertaining as it is insightful. A laugh-riot that talks about the most important of human pursuits: self-actualization.

The music of ‘3 Idiots’ is composed by Shantanu Moitra and lyrics are by Swanand Kirkire. Costumes are by Manish Malhotra and Raghuveer Shetty.

The film has been shot in Ladakh, Shimla, Bangalore and Delhi.

Show timings: Daily: 3:30 pm ,6:30 pm , 9:30pm

A Decent Factory

Date: Fri, 12 Mar 2010 to Fri, 12 Mar 2010 Time: 07:30 PM

Documentaire de Thomas Balmès (2004).

Faire des bénéfices ou rester moral ?

La question est d’autant plus critique pour une grosse société lorsqu’elle déplace sa production en Chine, là où la main d’œuvre est bon marché.

Son "spécialiste en civilité" visite alors l’usine chinoise pour voir comment est organisé leur fournisseur et surtout pour essayer de remédier aux conséquences de la délocalisation : corruption, droits de l’homme bafoués, hygiène et logement négligés.
