Schedule :
2.00 pm: HOLY MATRIMONY
(Nirmala Nair/ PSBT/ English, Hindi/ 26 mins./ 2011)
There is ‘want’ and ‘should’; ‘actual’ and ‘ideal’. Set in this space between the actual and the ideal, the Film is about emotions and pressures women go through to fit ideals predetermined by a patriarchal society and the ‘matrimony market’ in urban India. Placing together the aspirations of two young unmarried women and the notions they are expected to fit into, it portrays the contradiction between ‘who I am’ and the ‘ideal’ they are expected to become in order to get married.
2.45 pm: FOUR WOMEN AND A ROOM
(Ambarien Alqadar/ PSBT/ English, Hindi/ 42 mins./ 2008)
The Film explores the complex ways in which women understand and experience ‘motherhood’. It raises the key question of whether motherhood is always a ‘natural’ precondition towards the fulfillment of a woman’s subjectivity.
3.45 pm: MORALITY TV AND THE LOVING JEHAD
(Paromita Vohra/ PSBT/Hindi, English/ 30 mins./ 2007)
The Film looks outside the frames that weave the frenetic tapestry of Breaking News on India’s news channels, to uncover a town’s complex dynamics – the fear of love, the constant scrutiny and control of women’s mobility and sexuality, a history of communal violence, caste brutalisation and feudal mindsets.
