"Cinema is the ultimate pervert art. It doesn't give you what you desire - it tells you how to desire."
                                                                                             - Slavoj Žižek-



When you live in a city, your encounters with roads, friends, and strangers are all in pieces of images and sounds. What can you interpret of a city that you experience everyday in pieces? Bangalore Talkies a forum to see Bangalore through different eyes, through different lenses. How do YOU connect to Bangalore -   bus rides/auto rides, pubs, darshinis, your neighborhood, street dogs, trees, the weather, street food,  construction and deconstruction - it could be about any creature, thing, space or feeling in the city. Collect your stories on anything that can shoot image and record sound.  Bring stories about what you feel about Bangalore through as visual stories, metaphors, images and sounds.



What you need to do?


Collect your stories on anything that can shoot image and record sound – from fancy DSLRs, handycams, to mobile phones.

Bottom line, don’t forget to have fun when you do this.
