FILM
FRI-MON Around India with a Movie Camera at Little Cinema 
Sandhya Suri weaves together archive footage to create an emotionally resonant story about life across India pre-1947. Drawn from the BFI National Archive, it features some of the earliest surviving film from India as well as gorgeous travelogues, intimate home movies, and newsreels from British, French and Indian filmmakers. The film explores not only the people and places of more than 70 years ago, but asks us to engage with broader themes of a shared history, shifting perspectives in the lead-up to Indian independence and the ghosts of the past. Around India boasts a new score that fuses Western and Indian music from composer and sarod player Soumik Datta.
