Balvant Parekh Centre

Taking cognizance and attending to cinema as a valid medium of representation, the Forum on Contemporary Theory announces the beginning of the Forum’s Film Club as its new regular activity. The attempt of the Film Club would be to refresh our memories of those motion pictures, which contribute to our understanding and critical reflections on our complex reality. Every month, a film would be screened at the Centre between 6 and 8 pm.

The Film Club was inaugurated on Thursday, 27 March 2008 with the screening of the well acclaimed film “No Country for Old Men” at the Centre. This film which is directed by Ethan Coen and Joel Coen has received several Oscar and Academy awards. Recently we screened Meghe Dhaka Tara a great masterpiece of Ritwik Ghatak, Foreign Correspondent by Alfred Hitchcock and Bhumika by Shyam Benegal.

You are requested to become a member of the Film Club by contributing with a modest membership fee.
