Event Description

Rooted in the belief that cinema can entertain, inspire, and transform cultures, the Bangalore Film Forum, through MAP, presents a screening of Maa Bhomi. This gripping adaptation of Krishan Chander’s novella tells the story of Ramayya, a landless farmer who rises against oppression during the Telangana uprising (1944-1946) in Hyderabad. Directed by Goutam Ghose, the film captures the spirit of rebellion and resilience, connecting past struggles with broader social grievances, such as the famine of 1974.

Join us for this film screening at MAP. The event will be facilitated by Ashish Rajadhyaksha, a distinguished film historian, and S.V. Srinivas, a noted scholar of media and popular culture.

This film screening is the fourth of our six-month long series, ‘The Radical Seventies’, part of our youth engagement programming for AUD/VID which is a collaboration between MAP and Bangalore Film Forum and co-curated by Ashish Rajadhyaksha.

The Radical Seventies is a series that is specially crafted for youth to engage with older classics that resonate with our contemporary times, in familiar and unexpected ways. In collaboration with: NFDC-National Film Archive of India (NFAI)
