Lamakaan

Our play “Phiribar Poth Nai” (No Way Out!) is a work less concerned with recounting the episodes of Jibanananda Das' life than with contextualizing an oeuvre that grew more opaque over time. We link Jibanananda's evolution from a poet of wonderment and celebrant of the Bengali landscape to a weaver of conundrums with the tensions of the Second World War, followed by the struggle for independence and the partition of Bengal. We connect and contrast poems of like titles written at different times or for different publications, and elucidate stylistic and lexical idiosyncrasies by cross-referencing extensively Jibanananda's verse with his fiction, essays, and correspondence, and the comments they evoked from critics and associates. Shudrka Hyderabad believes that Jibanananda deserves more critical acclaim as a truly modern poet than even Tagore and hence pays tribute to him on his 125th birth year.

The Gray is the Short film of duration 28-minutes,The Fable of Artists are conartists, explores the Human Facet and it's drama in unique way along with Idiosyncratic Conflicts weaved in non-linear screenplay.

July brings one of the finest directors of all time, Stanley Kubrick films to Wednesday screenings at Lamakaan.

About the Stanley Kubrick: Stanley Kubrick (/ˈkuːbrɪk/; July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999) was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and photographer. Widely considered one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, his films were nearly all adaptations of novels or short stories, spanning a number of genres and gaining recognition for their intense attention to detail, innovative cinematography, extensive set design, and dark humor.

Born and raised in New York City, Kubrick was an average school student but displayed a keen interest in literature, photography, and film from a young age; he began to teach himself all aspects of film producing and directing after graduating from high school. After working as a photographer for Look magazine in the late 1940s and early 1950s, he began making low-budget short films and made his first major Hollywood film, The Killing, for United Artists in 1956. This was followed by two collaborations with Kirk Douglas: the anti-war film Paths of Glory (1957) and the historical epic film Spartacus (1960).

In 1961, Kubrick left the United States due to concerns about crime in the country, as well as a growing dislike for how Hollywood operated and creative differences with Douglas and the film studios; he settled in England, which he would leave only a handful of times for the rest of his life.

Anti Israel protest in US universities talk by Professor Immanuel Ness

The ongoing genocidal war in Gaza which the Zionist Israel has launched after 7 October last year has killed more than 36 thousand Palestinian including children, women and elderly besides reducing Gaza to rubble. But this unprecedented Israeli offensive has not deterred the Palestinian people as they continue to resist. The justice-loving people all over the world have been expressing their solidarity to the heroic Palestinian resistance and are call for boycotting Israel and divesting from companies benefitting from the occupation has gained renewed support. The most heartening aspect of this global solidarity was that the students and professors of about 150 college campuses took part in anti-Israel and pro-Palestine protests. The state repression on these protest demonstrations only led to spreading of the protests in the US, Europe and different parts of the world. This is very important moment in the global solidarity movement for the Palestinian people. In order to understand the reasons behind this enormous support for Palestine in US campuses and its implications, we have invited Professor Immanuel Ness who teaches political Science at City University of New York and who took part in the anti-Israel protest in his campus.

In this visually stunning film, directed by Burhan Qurbani, Francis, played by Welket Bungué, is an undocumented immigrant who arrives in Berlin with high hopes and the intention of being a decent person. But both the city and circumstances are against him. The film is based on Alfred Döblin's classic novel of the same name.

The story is about Franz Biberkopf who is now an immigrant named Francis, who has fled Guinea-Bissau to start a better life in Europe. After he survives both a storm and shipwreck, he vows to become a decent person. Arriving in Berlin, he makes a sincere effort to fulfil this oath, but his friendship with the drug dealer Reinhold and the social conditions in Germany stack the deck against him. He can draw hope from his love for Mieze, played by Jella Haase. Berlin Alexanderplatz is a lovely film that, instead of strictly following the classic book, tells a modern and expressive story that fits today's world.

German Film Screening: Into the Beat

Into the Beat is a beautiful film directed by Stefan Westerwellea, where teen ballerina Katya, played by Alexandra Pfeifer, discovers hip-hop by chance and is faced with an impossible choice: Does she follow her parents’ footsteps... or her newfound passion?

For Hamburg ballet student Katya, the hard training for a scholarship at the New York Ballet Academy is almost a matter of course, as she is the daughter of Victor Orlow, a celebrated ballet dancer who, after the death of his wife, is now looking after Katya and her younger brother Paul on her own. There are only three weeks left until the exam under the merciless regime of the dance teacher. One day, however, Katya discovers a factory hall on her way where people are dancing - albeit to completely different sounds and with impetuous acrobatic movements. She immerses herself in this young, wild hip-hop dance scene, feels free, is recognized and meets the dancer Marlon, played by Yalany Marschner. But the more she feels that this is her form of expression, the more she comes into a conflict of conscience with her beloved father, who can no longer dance since an accident on stage. The daughter, however, feels obliged to continue the ballet tradition in the family. Katya has to make a decision.

Neuro Quest Community throws light on the importance of creating and giving accommodations for the disabled folks. A presentation and an open discussion will follow after that.

Art and literature can be seen as extensions of the human mind. Very often they can reveal what lies within, sometimes visibly, and, sometimes, not quite so visibly. The movie club is (we hope) a fun way of looking deeper into the emotions, perceptions and thoughts that weave human relationships together or tear them apart. A movie may be treated as a true story or, alternatively, can be used as a tool to try and figure out what went on in the directors head when the movie was made. Either way, it’s a different way of understanding human behavior and relationships. In the end, by looking deeper into another’s story, we hope, perchance, to understand ourselves better.
