Pick of the Indies

FEW directors have the pedigree of Paul Schrader. The man who scripted modern classics such as Taxi Driver and The Mosquito Coast, co-wrote Raging Bull and directed American Gigolo, is back at the BFI Southbank on Monday with his latest film, The Walker. Woody Harrelson stars as a gay gadabout around Washington who’s forced to put his reputation on the line when he becomes involved in a murder case. Schrader will be in conversation following the screening which starts at 6.30pm.

THE Curzons Soho and Mayfair are hosting the ninth Rushes Soho Shorts festival from Sunday to Tuesday which aims to champion emerging talent. Among the highlights: a post-production masterclass from the London Film Academy and a discussion on the future of music video. For full details, go to www.rushes.co.uk

MORE evidence that Bollywood is taking over the world – the Renoir has a screening of Eklavya: The Royal Guard on Sunday under the banner, the best of modern Bollywood. Starring Amitabh Bachchan and Saif Ali Khan, the film looks at what happens when a former Maharaja is gunned down in broad daylight.
