MUMBAI: Aamir Khan‘s Peepli Live is among the three Indian films that will be shown at the Seattle International Film festival, to be held from 20 May to 13 June.

The central subject of Anusha Rizvi‘s directorial debut is the tragic rash of farmer suicides that has plagued India for the past decade and turns it into a fleet footed, incisive and very funny satire about the social absurdities afflicting the country.

The second film, Paresh Kamdar‘s Khargosh, will be screened in the Contemporary World Cinema section. Khargosh centers on a small-town boy in a remote Indian village who accidentally enters into the adult adventure of love. It is a delicate portrait of what it means to grow up.

The third, a student animation film called A Request from Earth, will be screened under the FutureWave Shorts, Short Films and Adobe Youth Voices section. In the film, students from India animate the impact of pollution and how to make the earth healthier.
