Introducing filmmaker and novelist Shamim Sarif talking to me on Episode 52 of One Good Take. Our main reason for getting together was to discuss her latest film, Polarized, an indie drama that explores the friendship and, later, romantic connection between two young women who come from the same town in North America, but very different worlds: one being white, the other Palestinian. Polarized is a well observed, deeply authentic story with a truly inclusive spirit to carry it along and a beautiful rural landscape to please the eye. Listen to the full conversation with Shamim on Episode 52.==Support the show

Shamim Sarif is an award-winning filmmaker who started her creative career writing novels. Whereas most filmmakers go through a rash of shorts before they can take a crack at directing a feature, Shamim was able to bypass all of that and dive straight in to her first feature in 2007. Her fifth feature film, an indie drama called Polarized, was shot in Manitoba, Canada, and released earlier this year. It's this film that we'll be discussing for most of the episode. Enjoy this take. Support the show

What a delight to chat with world traveler and book lover Carol Yee about her favorite book. “The World Unseen” is a slim love story that manages to touch on racial, sexual, and political tensions, while somehow manages to also be a compelling love story. We also discuss how travel and reading are similar, and the rules of Turkish coffee. One note about our conversation: Carol and I use the word “colored” a lot in the context of the book, which is the correct terminology for the time and place this book is set. When Carol and I talk about this term, we are, in fact, discussing the ridiculousness of these complex and nonsensical forms of racist distinctions. We talk about the traditions of a culture we are unfamiliar with, and grapple with the social implications of such distinctions, and, as always, marvel at the way fiction can bring us to the truths of the lives of other people.

By popular demand, this week's topic is a movie that ticks many of our boxes, and while it is pretty universally loved by queer women, ultimately it is a pretty bad movie. Do not get me wrong - I say this with all the love and compassion one can have for this beautiful attempt. I am talking of course about the 2008 classic lesbian movie, I Can't Think Straight. This movie was directed by Shamim Sarif and stars Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheth. This week, Sye and Shpak discuss this movie with a lot of love, especially considering how much time Shpak spent rewatching YouTube montages of the kissing scenes.After this episode, Swamp Grits will be on a short hiatus to celebrate Sye and Shpak's birthdays. We should be back in a few weeks! #ariespod Feel free to contact us at our email contact@swampgrits.com, tweet us @swamp_grits, or connect with us on Instagram @swampgrits.

Anna Interviews Shamim Sarif The Lesbian Review Podcast Anna is joined by Shamim Sarif today to talk about her movies, the stories behind them and she talks about her family and coming out.   The World Unseen by Shamim Sarif In 1950's South Africa, free-spirited Amina has broken all the rules of her own conventional Indian community, and the new apartheid-led government, by running a café with Jacob her “coloured” business partner. When she meets Miriam, a young wife and mother, their  unexpected attraction pushes Miriam to question the rules that bind her. When Amina helps Miriam’s sister-in-law to hide from the police, a chain of events is set in motion that changes both women forever.  The World Unseen transports us to a vibrant, colourful world, a world that divides white from black and women from men, but one that might just allow an unexpected love to survive.   Get This Movie On Amazon here -> https://amzn.to/2Dh4ZYw   I Can’t Think Straight Tala, a London-based Palestinian, is preparing for her elaborate Middle Eastern wedding when she meets Leyla, a young British Indian woman who is dating her best friend. Spirited Christian Tala and shy Muslim Leyla could not be more different from each other, but the attraction is immediate and goes deeper than friendship. But Tala is not ready to accept the implications of the choice her heart has made for her and escapes back to Jordan, while Leyla tries to move on with her new-found life, to the shock of her tradition-loving parents. As Tala's wedding day approaches, simmering tensions come to boiling point and the pressure mounts for Tala to be true to herself. Moving between the vast enclaves of Middle Eastern high society and the stunning backdrop of London's West End, I Can't Think Straight explores the clashes between East and West, love and marriage, conventions and individuality, creating a humorous and tender story of unexpected love and unusual freedoms.    Get This Movie On Amazon here -> https://amzn.to/2OF5sFI   Wrote the Book, Made the Movie, Raised the Kids, Now the Blog Modern women really can have it all – work, family, friends and fans – but having a sense of humour helps!

Natacha Atlas - Yalla Chant Edit By Petko Turner Most of Natacha Atlas' earlier albums were produced by Tim Whelan and Hamilton Lee from Transglobal Underground. Diaspora (1995), Halim (1997) (in honour of Egyptian singer Abdel Halim Hafez), Gedida (1998) and Ayeshteni (2001). Atlas has always spoken her mind about the way both she and Transglobal Underground were seen by the UK press back in the late 90s/early 2000. "Someone from the New Musical Express rang us about a feature we're to do with them and said 'We don't want it to be about the multi-cultural angle'. In other words that fad is over. And I'm personally insulted... what other angle is there for us?! I get sick of it all." In 1999, Atlas collaborated with David Arnold on the song "One Brief Moment". The single featured a cover version of the James Bond theme song from the film You Only Live Twice. Two years earlier, Atlas had collaborated with Arnold on the album Shaken and Stirred, recording the song "From Russia with Love" for the eponymous film(originally performed by Matt Monro). Also in 1999, she collaborated with Jean Michel Jarre for the track "C'est La Vie" on his album Métamorphoses. The track was released as a single. In 2003, Atlas provided vocals for the Kolo folk dance song "'Ajde Jano" on Nigel Kennedy and Kroke's album, East Meets East. In 2005, Atlas contributed the song "Just Like A Dream" (from Something Dangerous) to the charity album Voyces United for UNHCR. Her music has been used in a number of soundtracks. Her song "Kidda" was featured on the Sex and the City 2 soundtrack and in the 2005 video game Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories on Radio del Mundo. In 2003, her voice is heard in Hulk in the song "Captured“. Additionally, her song "Bathaddak" is one of the songs included in the 2007 Xbox 360 exclusive video game Project Gotham Racing 4. Her cover of I Put a Spell On You was used in the 2002 film Divine Intervention by Palestinian director Elia Suleiman. Atlas was originally billed to star in and provide the soundtrack to the film Whatever Lola Wants, directed by Nabil Ayouch. However, shooting delays caused Atlas to only be involved in the film's soundtrack. Her song "Gafsa" (Halim, 1997) was used as the main soundtrack during the Korean film Bin-Jip (also known as 3-Iron) (2004) by Kim Ki-Duk. She participated in the piece "Light of Life (Ibelin Reprise)" for the soundtrack of Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven. In 2007, Atlas collaborated with Belinda Carlisle for Belinda's seventh album Voila. She contributed additional vocals on songs "Ma Jeunesse Fout Le Camp," "La Vie En Rose", "Bonnie et Clyde" and "Des Ronds Dans L'Eau." Voila was released via Rykodisc in the U.K. on 5 February 2007 and in the U.S. the following day. The 2007 film Brick Lane features four songs with vocals by Atlas, "Adam's Lullaby", "Running Through the Night", "Love Blossoms" and "Rite of Passage". On 23 May 2008 Atlas released a new album, Ana Hina, which was well received by critics. In 2008, two of Atlas' songs, "Kidda" and "Ghanwa Bossanova", were used in Shamim Sarif's romantic comedy about two women, I Can't Think Straight. In 2008, she sang lead in the song "Habibe" from Peter Gabriel's long-awaited album and project, Big Blue Ball. On 20 September 2010 Atlas released Mounqaliba. Co-produced by Samy Bishai, it explored classical instrumentation, jazz and traditional Arabic styles and was inspired by the poems of Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. She is also composing the music for Francoise Charpat's upcoming film. In May 2013, Natacha Atlas released Expressions: Live in Toulouse, an album which showcased her expressive voice using largely orchestral arrangements augmented by Middle Eastern percussion.

How To Make A Movie: Have a great idea. Write a screenplay. Offer it to Hollywood (this step may take sixteen years waiting tables) Sell your soul (i.e. tarnish your great idea with two nudes, an astronaut, graphic sex, two vampires and three fart jokes) Watch the whole thing get mothballed and die in pre-production. (Despite promises to the contrary, Johnny Depp will not be involved) But there is another way... Tonight we welcome into the studio three authors, three film buffs, two directors and a memory of jam-- all contained by three great guests! Shamim Sarif not only had a great idea, wrote a novel, had it published, adapted it for film, wrote the screenplay and directed it herself-- her partner Hanan was the producer. And they've won awards. Dozens-- plural! And this isn't some low-budget zombie high school rom com set on an exploding train (copyright LAD). Her Cold War Russian love thriller, Despite the Falling Snow, has big-name stars and is coming soon to a theater near you. How did Shamim do it? Well, for one thing she bought a copy of the Guerrilla Film Makers Handbook, co-authored by tonight's second guest-- accomplished filmmaker, screenwriter and certified cinematic sniper Chris Jones. Chris is currently running the AI Singularity edition of Create50, a collaborative film project which "began life with a simple question-- how can we get fifty screenwriters' work produced?" Chris is also the genius behind London Screenwriters' Festival, 2nd to 4th September. As if that weren't enough, our final guest is up-and-coming novelist and Sofilm contributer David Sanger. His hauntingly compelling post American civil war novel All Our Minds In Tandem revolves around The Maker, a man whose supernatural animation can erase, enhance or alter people's memories. We'd tell you more about it except-- OMG it seems our cranial hard-drives has been compromised! Tonight's show encompasses memory, love, sexuality, voyeurism, moral compromise, the smoke-and-mirrors that is Hollywood and film, film, film! Oh and jam. Mustn't forget the jam.

Shamim Sarif brings her award-winning debut novel, "The World Unseen," to the screen for a sweeping tale of forbidden love in unforgiving times. Inspired by her grandmother's stories of 1950s South Africa facing the birth pangs of apartheid, Sarif introduces the fiercely free-spirited Amina who disregards the rules of her own Indian community and runs a café for apartheid's misfits, the ones who, like her, are neither simply “white” nor “black.” When she and the married, traditional Miriam find themselves powerfully attracted to each other, the possibilities for both love and tragedy are cast in the conflict that surrounds them. Distributed by Regent Releasing on November 7th, "The World Unseen" offers what the British Film Institute has called "a rare combination of intricate character study and engaging narrative" along with a compelling statement about the individual's quest for fulfillment against a backdrop of social coercion, violence, and pain.
