[Reader-list] Screening on 4th November, 2015 | Not Every Time @ IIHS, Bengaluru

[Kabir Khan]

---------------------------------------

The Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS) invites you for
the screening of *Not Every Time**,* and a conversation with the
filmmaker, Daljit Ami at 6.30pm on 4th November, 2015.


*Genre: *Documentary

*Language:* Punjabi, Hindi with English subtitles

*Duration: **59 min.*

*Director: **Daljit Ami*

*Year: *2006

*Synopsis: *Not Every Time is a definitive account of a mass movement that
the rape and murder of a college student spurred in 1997 in Punjab. The
film traces the various personal and political struggles the leaders and
participants of the movement experienced as a result of their involvement.
The movement, involving thousands of participants, continues in different
forms and the film is a fitting testimony to this remarkable tale which has
gone unnoticed by mainstream national media houses. It highlights not just
the violent reaction of a patriarchal society but also lays threadbare the
gender hierarchies within the movement.

This film was screened in the film festival Signs 2007 in competition
section and Karimpur Film Festival 2008 apart from innumerable screenings
in colleges and villages where it has invariably provoked intense
discussion and debate.

*Daljit Ami:* Documentary film maker, columnist, translator and journalist,
Daljit Ami is one of the foremost chroniclers of contemporary Punjab. He
holds Master’s degrees in Ancient History, Archaeology & Culture and
Communications. His journalistic career includes editorial stints at some
of the leading media organisations of the region (Punjabi Tribune, Day and
Night News, Global Punjab TV) and his reportage and commentaries have
appeared in key publications in three languages including Outlook, BBC
Hindi, Economic and Political Weekly, Dainik Bhasker and most of the
mainstream Punjabi publications including Nawa Zamana and Punjab Times.
Having entered the media at the time when Punjab was emerging from violence
and insurgency, Dalijt has an insider’s understanding of the way Punjab has
been projected in mainstream media. His body of work – in text and images –
invites us to think about Punjab outside of popular stereotypes and
formulaic analysis. His films have documented issues, events, movements and
people who fall outside the lens of mainstream media – the lives of
agricultural labour and human rights activists; movements against
ecological degradation and sexual violence; conservation of history and
memory; and Punjabi literature and poetry. His forthright columns and
reportage hold a mirror to the global Punjabi community. Despite the focus
on Punjab, his work steers clear of narrow localism and forges critical,
political and aesthetic connections with international struggles for
justice.

The film screening will take place at IIHS Bangalore City Campus
