Cinema: A Witness of Our Times
A country's cinema is a testament of its thought and culture. Cinema is also a history of its peoples. What are these enduring images speaking to us? How do cinema and its artefacts become witnesses of things past and oracles of those to come?

A Cinematic Kaleidoscope: Writings of B.D. Garga
So Many Cinemas: The Motion Picture in India (1996) is a collector’s delight. In it, the kahanikaar B.D. Garga chronicles many cinematic milestones. The text and images point to a beautiful cinematic legacy but would’ve certainly been lost had it not been for Garga’s efforts. The concluding lecture of
the series talks of how he constructs compelling film criticism from fragments of films. The narrative that frames the memorabilia in his collection is as important as the images themselves.

Main Event : EXHIBITION "A Story Called Cinema : The B. D. Garga Archives" at Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), 11, Mansingh Road > 9th to 23rd February 2017
