Showing this Sunday matinee is "Koi Sunta Hai -Someone Is Listening; Journeys with Kumar and Kabir" a film by Shabnam Virmani.
This film is an interweaving the folk music traditions of the mystic poet Kabir with the life and music of the late classical singer Kumar Gandharva, this film searches for that elusive sound, that jhini si awaaz, Kabir urges us to hear. Where does it resonate, that subtle sound? Journeying between folk and classical, oral and written, rural and urban expressions of this 15th century mystic poet of north India, the film finds moments of both continuity and rupture between these disparate worlds.
All are welcome. Screening will be followed by discussion with the film maker Shabnam Virmani. Entry - Free
