[Reader-list] Invitation: Cinema City event_29th April 6.30pm at MMB

[OISHIK SIRCAR]

Dear Friends,**


We are happy to announce a certificate course on *City Narratives in
Literature and Cinema* to be commenced on 9th July-12th October, 2010. The
course is an exploration of plural ways that cities intersect and define the
narration, production and commerce of cinema and simultaneously how
cinematic representations figure / re-figure urban identities. It is part of
a larger endeavour titled Cinema City: Bombay / Mumbai, an
inter-disciplinary research art and archive project.
