[Urban-Media] Film on Tuesday

[Shekhar Krishnan]

Dear All:

As I mentioned last week, one of the ideas with which we began the group
last year was to watch films which help us think through the social and
political spaces of the city, and the moral negotiation of urban space
in popular cinema narratives. I had put together a list of Hindi films
which explore the figure of the urban migrant, criminal investigator,
policeman, gangster and terrorist over the past fifty years in Bombay
cinema. See:

Mike and Eric and I plan to meet this TUESDAY 17 OCTOBER at 7.00 P.M. to
inaugurate this film seminar series, alongside our regular sessions of
the reading group. We will screen either CID (dir. Raj Khosla, 1956) or
Awaara (dir. Raj Kapoor, 1951). The screening will be held at MIT, or if
we cannot get a room and projector at short notice there, we will do it
at the group "annexe" at 96 West Cedar Street in Beacon Hill. Please
join us for this film seminar and bring your friends!

Best, 


S.K.
