Kriti Film Club presents "Learning In Exile" film screening & discussion at KRITI, S-35 Tara Apartments, Alaknanda > 5:45pm-7pm on 16th April 2011
Time : 5:45 pm - 7:00 pm
Entry : Free
Event Details : Kriti Film Club invites you for the screening of 'Learning In Exile'.
Tibet is a way of living. A civilization with an expiry date. Fifty years of exile has also produced a culture, coloured by its context, India. The exile life has seen a set of learning’s for the guest and the host. As there is no immediate solution in sight for the Tibetan case, we have a peculiar situation of being born as an 'alien' at home, since India does not recognize 'refugee' as a status. So, the central theme is how a Tibetan negotiates with this loss in the realm of the everyday, routine life. The Dalai Lama becomes a metaphor, to delve deeper into this existential crises. Mostly based on interviews with young Tibetans from Dharamsala and Majnu Ka Tila in Delhi, the film tries to capture the dilemmas of being Tibetan in India, today.
Screening will be followed by the discussion.
