The Institute for Sustainable Development (ISD) is organizing a film festival with films by or concerning women.
Day 1: 14th March
1. "Tales of the Night Fairies" by Shohini Ghosh 14th March, 12:50PM Five Sex-workers and a filmmaker embark on a journey of storytelling. Tales of the Night Fairies explores the power of collective organizing and resistance while reflecting upon contemporary debates around sex-work. The simultaneously expansive and labyrinthine city of Kolkata forms the backdrop for the personal and musical journeys of storytelling.
 2. "4 Months, 3 weeks and 2 days" by Cristian Mungiu 14th march, 2:40 PM When the flighty Gabita decides to terminate her pregnancy - a crime in Romania from 1966 until 1989 – her fiercely loyal university dorm-mate and best friend, Otilia, accompanies her to a hotel room to be “helped” by one Mr. Bebe, the only black market practitioner they can afford. When the foul Bebe requests something far more precious than money for his services, the girls descend into a harrowing journey of the soul that is nothingshort of shattering. |
