Event Description :  'Khayal Darpan (A Mirror to Imagination) ' film screening. 
A Delhi-based filmmaker spends half a year travelling across Pakistan, trying to understand how the state of Hindustani classical music has fared after 1947 and Partition. He discovers that cultural revisionism has wrested some of the tradition from the people of Pakistan. From Lahore to Karachi, Khayal Darpan not only presents some of the surviving practitioners and patrons of classical music Pakistan, it describes how innovative ways have been utilised to keep traditions alive. The film raises fascinating questions about cultural identity, nationalism and the survival of Hindustani classical music in South Asia.
