Hope you have been enjoying the films at BIFFES! A Bangalore filmmaker duo, Gautam Sonti and Usha Rao, are screening their documentary at Everest Cinema this 18th Dec. As usual the film screening will be free. And the directors will be present post film. It is a great chance to see a film about our city that has been shown at the Busan Film Festival and Dubai Film Fest.

Hope to see you there! and will soon announce a documentary appreciation and/or documentary filmmaking workshop in Bangalore. please email me to indicate your interest in such a workshop!

Warmly - Preeti

Bangalore is being refashioned as a 'world class metropolis'. Livelihoods and homes make way for flyovers, glitzy malls and a shiny Metro. Threatened with violent transformation of their city, residents confront the authorities. Beneath the State's ideal of a 'global city' lurks the intent to clear a pasture for big business.
