[Urban-Media] Shree 420 screening on Tuesday evening in Cambridge

[eric lewis beverley]

All~

We will be screening Raj Kapoor's classic film Shree 420 [http:// 
www.imdb.com/title/tt0048613/] at Goosebump Graphics on Tuesday 9 May  
from about 5.45-8.45, with discussion to follow.  Released in 1955  
and set in Bombay, Shree 420 is one of the most influential products  
of the booming '50s Bombay film industry, and a canonical  
representation of urban life in postcolonial Bombay.

I initially planned to watch the film with a student of mine, Ravi,  
in connection with his tutorial this term.  Shekhar has offered to  
host it at GBG, since the film will be of interest to many of us and  
having a larger group there will foster more wide-ranging conversations.

Goosebump Graphics is located just south of Mass Ave on Albany Street

centerx=708480;centery=495916;zoom=level3;selection=NW10;selectfield=fac 
ility;selectlayer=Buildings;aerial=1].  When you arrive at the  
concierge, call Shekhar on +1.617.412.6334 or myself at  
+1.617.852.8309 and one of us will greet you downstairs.

Feel free to bring something to drink if you like.   Quality delivery  
food from outside if people are hungry.  Hope to see you there.

Eric
