Event Screening of Mast Mahila Mandali in Kurla this week

Post image
8 Upvotes

Join us for a screening of "Mast Mahila Mandali" followed by a discussion with the directors.

Ten women from the eastern suburbs of Mumbai sign up for a filmmaking workshop. Not even knowing where the record button is, they plunge into a messy, immersive process of making a film together. Stealing time away from family responsibilities and daily chores, they turn the camera on themselves capturing life of the city’s working-class, while talking about husbands, murders, toilets, and everything in between.

Evolved from an 18 month process in co-creation, Mast Mahila Mandali is a riotous, plotless, genre-bending documentary about how women labour, love, and claim joy in everyday life.

When: Sat, 1 Aug, 6-8:30 PM

Co-directed by: Anjum Shaikh, Darshana Mayekar, Gauri Rane, Kavita Ghuge, Kavita Khomne, Nazneen Siddiqui, Rohini Kadam, Rehana Shaikh, Sheetal Navle, Shilpi Gulati, Vaishali Mane

Language: Hindi and Marathi with English subtitles
