SISTER MIDNIGHT, the audacious debut feature from London-based Indian artist and filmmaker Karan Kandhari, follows rebellious small-town misfit Uma (played by acclaimed Indian actress Radhika Apte) as she arrives in Mumbai, only to find herself completely unsuited to life as a housewife.

Clashing with nosy neighbors and overwhelmed by the city’s relentless heat and noise, Uma chooses to defy societal expectations and forge her own path in this bold, unpredictable, and darkly funny film.

Featuring a distinctive visual style and an eclectic soundtrack—marking Interpol frontman Paul Banks’ debut as a composer—the film had its world premiere at Cannes’ Directors’ Fortnight and went on to win Best Film in the Next Wave section at Fantastic Fest.
