Jafar Panahi, one of the contemporary masters of World Cinema from Iran had been imposed with a 20 year ban from film making by the Iranian government in 2007. But Mr. Panahi still managed to make three films viz This Is Not A Film (2011), Closed Curtain (2013) and Taxi Tehran (2015).


And all these three films further explore the docu-fiction style where the lines between documentary and fiction blur so subtly and beautifully. Filmmakers world over, quite a few greats, especially the greats (Orson Welles for instance) have always tried this puzzling technique, trying to throw at the audience something so real that it gets supremely dramatic, otherwise called turning the camera around.Anyways coming to our film - A Love Letter to Cinema, is in a sense a rip off of Taxi Tehran. Panahi's Taxi is about how Panahi disguised himself as a cab driver in Tehran, mounted a camera on his dashboard and went around town for a day, a few of the passengers recognise him, many don't. Panahi's ban and other legal constraints in this scenario kind of push him to make this film in disguise and a camera pointed at life, shooting whatever walks into it.The exciting thing for us when we thought about it, is to put some sort of constraint upon ourselves for the film to look like a blur between what is real and what is staged. And the idea that whatever happens, the camera will never leave the car was the constraint we've imposed upon ourselves and we let the people/actors talk, say whatever, do whatever and the result is the best film we've made so far. Hope you guys love it as much as we do.

How great leaders inspire audiences a talk by Rakesh Godhwani, adjunct Faculty, IIM Bangalore

Creating a Created Future: The Fundamentals of Transformation
We often despair of creating the future we want to live in. It seems too distant, too tough, and just plain unattainable. We are submerged in so many problems that seem impossible to solve: war, corruption, an unpredictable world economy, mass unemployment, pervasive social malaise, disease, poverty, and the conundrum of our own lives and how to make a difference.
Yet, we desperately want a better present and a better future for our families, our communities, our world, and ourselves.
In this introductory lecture, Professor Michael Leslie outlines how to constitute oneself as the kind of entity who can powerfully call into existence the world we all desire, not by force or cunning, but by the transformation of who we are each being on the planet.

I am an environmental educator, surfer, parkour practitioner, and hip hop artist. My father is from Hyderabad and I was born and raised in the U.S. I will be sharing some of my hip hop music and videos, which celebrate the power of women and girls in surfing and the outdoors. I will be inviting the audience to join in, via a participatory beginners workshop in "freestyling" the art of creating rhymes on the spot, usually to a beat. This workshop is meant for total beginners who find the idea of freestyling to be terrifying, and is ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS. We will do exercises to loosen ourselves up, release ourselves from judgment, and HAVE FUN!!!

The global image of U.S. hip hop tends to be of commercial gangster rap, however this is not the full picture. In the big cities in the U.S. local hip hop scenes thrive and musicians and artists (many of them women!) create work relevant to local issues and their community. I would like to share my own work as a San Francisco Bay Area hip hop artist as well as invite the audience to join in the participatory community based spontaneous aspect of hip hop through a freestyle workshop

Mitti- Back to the roots is a crowd funded documentary fictional film based on agrarian crisis in India.
Vision of the film is to save farmers from committing suicide.

In this talk hosted by Hyderabad Urban Lab, Dr. Amir Ullah Khan, will trace the history of GST and the road ahead. With the rollout of the GST, it is hoped that taxes would be simplified and harmonised. Tax terrorism would get extinguished. It may come at the cost of making India less of a federal state, but the tradeoff could be well worth it. However the beginnings have been rough. Not only is the industry unprepared, it is obvious that the government also is way behind on its preparations. The Telangana CM was the first to have realized that GST will cause distress. He has argued that that several thousands of workers sustain on the beedi industry and as such, imposing excess taxes on the industry will adversely impact the beedi workers. With more than 1,400 commodities that will have to be fitted into the five slabs – zero, 5 per cent, 12 per cent, 18 per cent and 28 per cent, the tax department has its hands full. It has still not decided what to do with sin products where we need to fix special cesses on demerit goods that are now capped at 15 per cent for aerated drinks and luxury cars, and at 135 per cent for pan masala, and 290 per cent or Rs 4,170 per 1,000 sticks for cigarettes. Most items therefore will be fit into the existing VAT scheme. However at the moment, each state differs so much that actual fitments will involve intense lobbying by states. Businesses will start their own lobbying. We may well return to the age old system of business lobbyists using all means possible to get their produce into the lower slabs. The government is staring into a possible embarrassment. Dr. Amir Ulla Khan, the speaker is a development economist who is currently a professor at the Maulana Azad Urdu Unviersity and is no stranger to Hyderabad. He was member of the Telangana commission of inquiry into the socio economic conditions of Minorities. He is on the board of several key institutions of policy research, policymaking and development interventions.

Kamla by Vijay Tendulkar is a naturalistic play. It focuses on the changed role of women in society. It was inspired by a real-life incident - the Indian Express exposure by Ashwin Sarin, who actually bought a girl from a rural flesh market and presented her at a press conference. But using this incident as a launching pad, Tendulkar raises certain cardinal questions regarding the value system of a modern success-oriented generation who are ready to sacrifice human value in the name of humanity itself. The playwright exposes the innate self-deception of this standpoint. It is the story of an unfortunate woman sold away in the flesh market and a so-called happy housewife married to a daring journalist, both having a revelation of finding themselves on the common platform of sexual slavery in this male-dominated world.

PANCHLIGHT - A Romantic Comedy in Hindi

Written by Phanishwar Nath 'Renu'
Designed and Directed by - Sandeep Sahu


Date - 05th August 2017
Time - 7.30pm
Venue - Lamakaan

This fictional story, dating 50 years back, talks about a small village situated in the state of Bihar. The story describes the situation of that period when many small villages in India were still in darkness and had no access to electricity.

The play highlights the effect of modern technology on people who are still reeling under the traditional practices observed in a village. Highlighting this issue, the play exposes a romantic tale of the central characters in the story.

Although a romantic comedy, this play reflects on the conditions of our villages in India, 50 years ago. Despite numerous hurdles and challenges, people never lost faith in their fellow people and supported each other to fight those obstacles.

Sararattir, a play written by Badal Sircar, is a story of a night and three characters - a husband,a wife and an old man. This one is a psychological drama that revolves around the woman and her fantasy world and focuses on the inner conflicts that she faces when she is 28 as the writer very aptly suggests it as the age when a woman wonders about her own life and being. As the play opens up, we see her as a happy wife leading a healthy relationship with a perfect husband.

All is going well till she meets a mysterious old stranger during the couple's vacation in a lonely house on a rainy night, who has his own weird theory about 7. A chance encounter with this man leads them to crossroads of introspection and self realization. One night. One long, sleepless, rainy night. Was it a dream?

Jafar Panahi, one of the contemporary masters of World Cinema from Iran had been imposed with a 20 year ban from film making by the Iranian government in 2007. But Mr. Panahi still managed to make three films viz This Is Not A Film (2011), Closed Curtain (2013) and Taxi Tehran (2015).


And all these three films further explore the docu-fiction style where the lines between documentary and fiction blur so subtly and beautifully. Filmmakers world over, quite a few greats, especially the greats (Orson Welles for instance) have always tried this puzzling technique, trying to throw at the audience something so real that it gets supremely dramatic, otherwise called turning the camera around.Anyways coming to our film - A Love Letter to Cinema, is in a sense a rip off of Taxi Tehran. Panahi's Taxi is about how Panahi disguised himself as a cab driver in Tehran, mounted a camera on his dashboard and went around town for a day, a few of the passengers recognise him, many don't. Panahi's ban and other legal constraints in this scenario kind of push him to make this film in disguise and a camera pointed at life, shooting whatever walks into it.The exciting thing for us when we thought about it, is to put some sort of constraint upon ourselves for the film to look like a blur between what is real and what is staged. And the idea that whatever happens, the camera will never leave the car was the constraint we've imposed upon ourselves and we let the people/actors talk, say whatever, do whatever and the result is the best film we've made so far. Hope you guys love it as much as we do.

How great leaders inspire audiences a talk by Rakesh Godhwani, adjunct Faculty, IIM Bangalore

Creating a Created Future: The Fundamentals of Transformation
We often despair of creating the future we want to live in. It seems too distant, too tough, and just plain unattainable. We are submerged in so many problems that seem impossible to solve: war, corruption, an unpredictable world economy, mass unemployment, pervasive social malaise, disease, poverty, and the conundrum of our own lives and how to make a difference.
Yet, we desperately want a better present and a better future for our families, our communities, our world, and ourselves.
In this introductory lecture, Professor Michael Leslie outlines how to constitute oneself as the kind of entity who can powerfully call into existence the world we all desire, not by force or cunning, but by the transformation of who we are each being on the planet.

I am an environmental educator, surfer, parkour practitioner, and hip hop artist. My father is from Hyderabad and I was born and raised in the U.S. I will be sharing some of my hip hop music and videos, which celebrate the power of women and girls in surfing and the outdoors. I will be inviting the audience to join in, via a participatory beginners workshop in "freestyling" the art of creating rhymes on the spot, usually to a beat. This workshop is meant for total beginners who find the idea of freestyling to be terrifying, and is ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS. We will do exercises to loosen ourselves up, release ourselves from judgment, and HAVE FUN!!!

The global image of U.S. hip hop tends to be of commercial gangster rap, however this is not the full picture. In the big cities in the U.S. local hip hop scenes thrive and musicians and artists (many of them women!) create work relevant to local issues and their community. I would like to share my own work as a San Francisco Bay Area hip hop artist as well as invite the audience to join in the participatory community based spontaneous aspect of hip hop through a freestyle workshop

Mitti- Back to the roots is a crowd funded documentary fictional film based on agrarian crisis in India.
Vision of the film is to save farmers from committing suicide.

In this talk hosted by Hyderabad Urban Lab, Dr. Amir Ullah Khan, will trace the history of GST and the road ahead. With the rollout of the GST, it is hoped that taxes would be simplified and harmonised. Tax terrorism would get extinguished. It may come at the cost of making India less of a federal state, but the tradeoff could be well worth it. However the beginnings have been rough. Not only is the industry unprepared, it is obvious that the government also is way behind on its preparations. The Telangana CM was the first to have realized that GST will cause distress. He has argued that that several thousands of workers sustain on the beedi industry and as such, imposing excess taxes on the industry will adversely impact the beedi workers. With more than 1,400 commodities that will have to be fitted into the five slabs – zero, 5 per cent, 12 per cent, 18 per cent and 28 per cent, the tax department has its hands full. It has still not decided what to do with sin products where we need to fix special cesses on demerit goods that are now capped at 15 per cent for aerated drinks and luxury cars, and at 135 per cent for pan masala, and 290 per cent or Rs 4,170 per 1,000 sticks for cigarettes. Most items therefore will be fit into the existing VAT scheme. However at the moment, each state differs so much that actual fitments will involve intense lobbying by states. Businesses will start their own lobbying. We may well return to the age old system of business lobbyists using all means possible to get their produce into the lower slabs. The government is staring into a possible embarrassment. Dr. Amir Ulla Khan, the speaker is a development economist who is currently a professor at the Maulana Azad Urdu Unviersity and is no stranger to Hyderabad. He was member of the Telangana commission of inquiry into the socio economic conditions of Minorities. He is on the board of several key institutions of policy research, policymaking and development interventions.

Kamla by Vijay Tendulkar is a naturalistic play. It focuses on the changed role of women in society. It was inspired by a real-life incident - the Indian Express exposure by Ashwin Sarin, who actually bought a girl from a rural flesh market and presented her at a press conference. But using this incident as a launching pad, Tendulkar raises certain cardinal questions regarding the value system of a modern success-oriented generation who are ready to sacrifice human value in the name of humanity itself. The playwright exposes the innate self-deception of this standpoint. It is the story of an unfortunate woman sold away in the flesh market and a so-called happy housewife married to a daring journalist, both having a revelation of finding themselves on the common platform of sexual slavery in this male-dominated world.

PANCHLIGHT - A Romantic Comedy in Hindi

Written by Phanishwar Nath 'Renu'
Designed and Directed by - Sandeep Sahu


Date - 05th August 2017
Time - 7.30pm
Venue - Lamakaan

This fictional story, dating 50 years back, talks about a small village situated in the state of Bihar. The story describes the situation of that period when many small villages in India were still in darkness and had no access to electricity.

The play highlights the effect of modern technology on people who are still reeling under the traditional practices observed in a village. Highlighting this issue, the play exposes a romantic tale of the central characters in the story.

Although a romantic comedy, this play reflects on the conditions of our villages in India, 50 years ago. Despite numerous hurdles and challenges, people never lost faith in their fellow people and supported each other to fight those obstacles.

Sararattir, a play written by Badal Sircar, is a story of a night and three characters - a husband,a wife and an old man. This one is a psychological drama that revolves around the woman and her fantasy world and focuses on the inner conflicts that she faces when she is 28 as the writer very aptly suggests it as the age when a woman wonders about her own life and being. As the play opens up, we see her as a happy wife leading a healthy relationship with a perfect husband.

All is going well till she meets a mysterious old stranger during the couple's vacation in a lonely house on a rainy night, who has his own weird theory about 7. A chance encounter with this man leads them to crossroads of introspection and self realization. One night. One long, sleepless, rainy night. Was it a dream?

PLAY : BADAL SIRCAR; LANGUAGE : BENGALI;
