[Reader-list] Festival on Disability and Cinema: May 3rd - June 11th, 2011 at NMML, New Delhi

[rohitrellan at aol.in]

Dear Friend,



I invite you, on behalf of Prof. Mridula Mukherjee, Director, Nehru 
Memorial Museum and Library, to attend and participate in “Disability 
and Cinema”, a film festival  organised by NMML. The festival is 
scheduled from May 3rd to June 11th, 2011. We plan to screen one Hindi 
and one English film per week.



As the focus of the festival is on disability, the films being screened 
explore the concerns and experiences of disabled people. These 
screenings will present a context for serious engagement with issues of 
mercy killing, intimacy and sexuality, friendship, gender, etc. and 
explore their many intersections. While engaging with films as a medium 
of political and creative expression, we hope to raise critical 
disability issues. Apart from the fraternity of disability activists, 
scholars and film enthusiasts, we are also looking forward to the 
participation of university students, NGO activists and academicians.



We would be truly delighted by your participation and look forward to 
your presence during the festival. The schedule of the programme is 
given below.



Thanks,


In charge
