Event Description

Documentary | 2021 | 60 Minutes | Himachali and Hindi | English subtitles Directed by Shuchi Prasad A young boy in a small Himachali village returns to school after the lockdown to find himself struggling to learn. Through his school window, his day dreams pave several routes, forming a diary of his contemplations; circular questions, pressed flowers, the leaf of his ancestor’s tree, a bird that sings in the night. As his boyhood unfolds, it is all the more befitting that the boy’s name, ’Manav’, is a Sanskrit word that means ‘Human’. The film has made several rounds in the festival circuit: a) Golden Royal Bengal Tiger Award for Best Documentary Film, Kolkata International Film Festival 2022. b) Kerala Premiere, International Documentary Short Film Festival Kerala (IDSFFK 2022) c) Selected at 51st Roshd International Film Festival, Iran, organised by education and culture ministry of Iran The screening will be followed by a conversation with the director, Shuchi and anthropologist and filmmaker Usha Rao; and a Q&A with the audience.
