Lamakaan

Performing Classical Dance (Bharatnatyam)

Mriga Sira - the deer head - Mirag, Mirg, Marag as it is called in Hyderabad is an important date in the solar calendar of agriculture. Year after year, that day - June 7th ( shifted by a day in this century to June 8th), we expect the first monsoon shower.

Vegetarians mark the day with eating hing with jaggery. Others line up at the vendors to buy fish (usually murrel).

Mohd quli Qutb Shah, the founder of Hyderabd is said to have composed five songs to celebrate the day.

Let's meet at Lamakaan on June 8th between 5 and 6:30 pm to listen to Dr. Sarah Waheed share her recent work tracing legacies of 16th century queen regent Chand Bibi and her mark on water systems on the Deccan.

We are of course free to talk about kings and cabbages and secularism too.

Film Title: The Double Life of Veronique | 1991 | 98 Minutes | Polish & French Subtitled in English

The Double Life of Veronique (French: La double vie de Véronique, Polish: Podwójne życie Weroniki) is a 1991 drama film directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski and starring Irène Jacob. Written by Kieślowski and Krzysztof Piesiewicz, the film explores the themes of identity, love, and human intuition through the characters of Weronika, a Polish choir soprano, and her double, Véronique, a French music teacher. The two women do not know each other, and yet they share a mysterious and emotional bond that transcends language and geography.

The Double Life of Véronique was Kieślowski's first film to be produced partly outside his native Poland. It won the Prize of the Ecumenical Jury and the FIPRESCI Prize at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival, and the Best Actress Award for Jacob. The Double Life of Véronique was selected as the Polish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 64th Academy Awards but was not accepted as a nominee.

The play, directed by Swapan Mondal, is about a king who, stricken by the sudden death of his beloved sister, Apurupa, ponders over the futility of existence. His meditations on the eternal mystery lead him to consider his position of limitless powers. He is the monarch of the world, but, deranged by sorrow, he strives to control the universe, to make impossibilities come true. He yearns to possess the moon, to blend the sky and the sea and discover the secrets of the dead. His experiments are those of an insane sadist. He orders executions and torture without reason, to defy logic and sense.

The play remains universally relevant. It represents the face of contemporary despotism, not only in terms of the whimsical madness of rulers, but also in terms of how people react to such rule with a glimmer of hope for the future.

Film Title: Neeli Raag (True Blue)
84 minutes | India | 2018
Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Hindi, Gujarati, English; Subtitled in English


Synopsis:
Indigo is not just a colour, it never was... it was wealth, it was mystique, it was colonialism, tyranny and protest. It made history, but itself fell prey to the events and processes of time, until one day it seemed to disappear.
As the world begins to demand natural dyes once again, it is back in the spotlight. The stubborn dreamers who refused to forget their craft feel vindicated, but the world that once nurtured this difficult and capricious colour is no more.
Traversing the verdant monsoon of Tamil Nadu, the earthy expanses of springtime Telangana, and the wintry desert of Kachchh, Neeli Raag is an attempt to tell the story of indigo as it is practised in India today.

Interwoven with the narratives of the indigo craftsmen is the colour itself in its many moods, textures and forms. How does a green leaf yield blue colour? How do the different shades emerge? What is the chemistry that makes this possible? The processes of indigo are almost magical to behold, as murky solutions transform into a vibrant blue, bit by bit. This is a blue that deepens, mesmerises, stains, and seeps into the skin and nails, indeed the lives of those who craft it.

***Film Title: Three Colours: Red| 1994 | 99 Minutes | French Subtitled in English***

Three Colours: Red (French: Trois couleurs: Rouge, Polish: Trzy kolory. Czerwony) is a 1994 romantic mystery film co-written, produced and directed by a Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Kieślowski. It is the final installment of the Three Colours trilogy, which examines the French Revolutionary ideals; it is preceded by Blue and White. Kieślowski had announced that this would be his final film, which proved true with the director's sudden death in 1996. Red is about the fraternity, which it examines by showing characters whose lives gradually become closely interconnected, with bonds forming between two characters who appear to have little in common.

Red was released to universal critical acclaim and was nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Director for Kieślowski. It was also selected as the Swiss entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 67th Academy Awards, but was disqualified for not being a majority-Swiss production.

As of 2022, it is one of only two films to receive perfect ratings on both Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, along with Fanny and Alexander.

Na cycle prayanam" Is a telugu adaptation of vijay tendulkar's Cyclewallah in Hindi, is one of the most outstanding plays authored by Vijay Tendulkar. Originally written in Marathi under the title ‘Safar’ it was later translated into English as The Cyclist.  The Cyclist was intended to be Tendulkar’s last play. It was his ultimate comment on himself and the reality surrounding him. The story is about a cycle journey by a middle age man and his experiences.

Jafar Panâhi (Persian: جعفر پناهی, born 11 July 1960) is an Iranian film director, from east Azerbaijan province, screenwriter, and film editor, commonly associated with the Iranian New Wave film movement. After several years of making short films and working as an assistant director for fellow Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami, Panahi achieved international recognition with his feature film debut, The White Balloon (1995). The film won the Caméra d'Or at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, the first major award an Iranian film won at Cannes.


Panahi was quickly recognized as one of Iran's most influential filmmakers. His films were often banned in Iran, but he continued to receive international acclaim from film theorists and critics and won numerous awards, including the Golden Leopard at the Locarno International Film Festival for The Mirror (1997), the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival for The Circle (2000), and the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival for Offside (2006). His films are known for their humanistic perspective on life in Iran, often focusing on the hardships of children, the impoverished, and women. Hamid Dabashi has written, "Panahi does not do as he is told—in fact he has made a successful career in not doing as he is told."


After several years of conflict with the Iranian government over the content of his films (including several short-term arrests), Panahi was arrested in March 2010 along with his wife, daughter, and 15 friends, and later charged with propaganda against the Iranian government. Despite support from filmmakers, film organizations, and human rights organizations around the world, in December 2010 Panahi was sentenced to six years in prison and a 20-year ban on directing any movies, writing screenplays, giving interviews with Iranian or foreign media, or leaving the country except for medical treatment or making the Hajj pilgrimage.[4] While awaiting the result of an appeal he made This Is Not a Film (2011), a documentary feature in the form of a video diary. It was smuggled out of Iran on a flash drive hidden inside a cake and shown at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. In February 2013 the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival showed Closed Curtain (Pardé) by Panahi and Kambuzia Partovi in competition; Panahi won the Silver Bear for Best Script. Panahi's subsequent film Taxi also premiered in competition at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival in February 2015 and won the Golden Bear, the prize awarded for the best film in the festival. In 2018 he won the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Screenplay (tied) for 3 Faces; he was unable to leave Iran to attend the festival, so his daughter, Solmaz Panahi, read his statement and received the award on his behalf.

Film Title: The White Balloon | 1995 | 85 Minutes | Persian Subtitled in English


The White Balloon (Persian: بادکنک سفيد) is a 1995 Iranian film directed by Jafar Panahi, with a screenplay by Abbas Kiarostami. It was Panahi's feature-film debut as director. The film received many strong critical reviews and won numerous awards at international film fairs around the world including the Prix de la Camera d'Or at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival. The Guardian has listed this film as one of the 50 best family films of all time. The film is on the BFI list of the 50 films you should see by the age of 14.


The film was selected as the Iranian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 68th Academy Awards but was not accepted as a nominee. Iran unsuccessfully tried to withdraw the film from contention but the Academy refused to accept the withdrawal.
