CAMP continues its winter season of screenings exploring footage both 
within and outside the usual capsule of "the film".

Commonly seen as the bane of documentary films, the "talking head" is 
reincarnated as a rare and
revealing set of encounters, in forms such as:

a solo, by a woman in her kitchen, and another in a dance bar,
a couple, in a playful interview by jean-luc godard of woody allen,
a trio, when two european film students drunkenly interview tsai ming 
liang,
four men on a talk-show set, "the good, the bad and the ugly" and the 
presenter, on in-mumbai cable channel in 2001,
"paanch bahuraniyan" (five daughters-in-law) in a feudal house in an 
urban village in delhi,
a dozen young people and a dholki (drum) singing an old protest song 
indoors,
a crowd that takes over a TV studio in Bucharest, in 1989.

Also featuring, not in this order: deleuze, dhasal, haraway, ibrahim, 
navalkar, roy, talking heads, zizek and more.

What threads tie them together? Perhaps no one, just as all the objects 
in one's house are not "related" in a simple way.
