FILM CLUB SCREENING - PREMIERE Naalu Pennungal (2007/105mins) Dir.Adoor Gopalakrishnan.A film about four women – each coming from a different social stratum:

A prostitute gives up her profession to lead a ‘normal’ life with her lover. But the law of the land catches up as they fail to give evidence of their matrimony.

The second is a farm-worker whom her parents marry off to a petty shopkeeper. The bridegroom strangely avoids any intimacy with her. Eventually, she is taken back to her parents. There is no explanation given for his abandoning her but scandals start circulating.

The third is a housewife who is visited by a senior classmate of hers. The two reminiscence old days of small adventures and frolics and also ponder over her being childless. He has a solution for her whom he thinks is vulnerable…

The last story is about a middle class girl who is already passed her marriageable age. The widowed mother, who runs the house with four children to look after, tries her best to find a boy for her. Strangely, no proposal seems to work. Eventually, all her younger siblings settle down in life. With the death of her mother, she finds herself alone. Now she has to make a choice of her own. Screening will be followed by an interaction with the Director. Courtesy: PSBT

FILM - PSBT-INPUT DOCUMENTARY FILM RETROSPECTIVE Thinking Allowed(India/2005/54mins)Dir. Judhajit Sarkar. Myths are not made in a day. They get created over a period of time submerging the reality. They are fuelled by vested interests. Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Is she for real or a myth? If real what are her exact contributions? We explore this question and traverse a path none too comfortable. It is a thorny and prickly road. It compels us to question ourselves more than it seeks to malign. Myths need busting. As ordinary people, we do not question, we do not think. We do not grow, rather die in a time warp ... Thinking Aloud / Allowed is not just about the Saint of the Gutters. It is as much about our city and about us.
