Event Description
110 minutes | English and Hindi | English subtitles Directed by Pushan Kripalani Authors, booksellers and artists in India and abroad reflect on their role in this theatre of publishing where hesitant, unconventional ideas find their place on the page. Of the Book and Other Stories documents insights from some of the lives Seagull has touched over the last four decades: Romila Thapar, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, Ravish Kumar, Anjum Katyal, Urvashi Butalia, Rick Simonson, Peter Maravelis, Alice Attie, Namita Gokhale, Siddharth Basu, Sanjoy Roy, Sumit Lai Roy, Katy Lai Roy, Samik Bandyopadhyay and Jeff Deutsch among others. Also featuring interviews with the Seagull team, especially Naveen Kishore who shares fragments of his extraordinary journey from theatre-lighting designer to publisher, the film explores how Seagull Books remains proudly at home in Calcutta but is truly a publisher for and of the world.
