  7:00pm|DOC FILM|Riders Of The Mist (English/2014/65mins) Dir.Roopa Barua
  A documentary about a century-old bareback pony racing tradition in the
  state of Assam, India. The ponies are free-grazing and live in the
  grassland river islands of the Brahmaputra Valley. They come and
  participate in the annual racing event of a colonial era planters club
  in Jorhat, Assam. This documentary is a portrayal of the races as they
  unfold, the jockeys and their lives and these ponies that become part of
  the tradition every year. The heavy mist that hovers over Jorhat during
  this time of the year is a fitting backdrop for this quirky phenomenon
  that has a fleeting presence for a few days every year and is gone
  almost as soon as it arrives. Winner of Best Documentary Award, Indian
  Film Festival, Houston, 2015
