Beyond mainstream Bollywood, lies a world of cinema. A good part of that is being brought for your viewing as part of Habitat Film Festival, that as part of its 11th edition, screens a wide range of narratives. The only thing common in each film is that it presents issues that are common to all of us in these changing times.
Concluding today, movies that are being screened as part of its last day are Lokmanya Ek Yug Purush, Retro, Aruvi, Onaatah, Rajkahani and Angry Indian Goddesses. “This year’s films aimed at entertaining, enchanting, engaging delighting and disturbing in varying measure, in this cinematic voyage that travels across the vast terrain of the land and gives you a window into the soul of the country. The content and themes are varied and span themes as diverse as displacement, migration, intolerance, gender, caste, corrupt systems and destruction of environment and indigenous culture,” says Vidyun Singh, Director, Programmes.
While some films deal with the contemporary reality, others bring you folklore and history. “Negotiating their way through all this, are also the wonderful narratives of love, courage, aspiration and resilience of the human spirit,” she says.
