Vikalp@Prithvi [Last Fri] Documentaries and Short Film Screenings A collaboration between Prithvi Theatre and Vikalp: 'Films for Freedom', which began in February 2007. We screen a selection of documentaries and short films followed by a Q&A with the director or people familiar with the theme of the film. Fri 27 Dec 2024 | 7pm | Prithvi House Watch 'Chaityabhumi' followed by a Q&A with Somnath Waghmare, the director. Synopsis: 'Chaityabhumi' is a holy site that holds immense importance for the Dalit movement in India, as it is where Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar’s last rites were performed after his passing on December 6, 1956. Dr Ambedkar, often called the father of the Indian Constitution, dedicated his life to fighting the chains of caste oppression and bringing revolutionary change. He was a guiding light for the oppressed who dismantled discriminatory barriers and empowered them to reclaim their dignity and their rightful place in society. This musical film will bring to light the history and cultural politics of how people commemorate December 6 at Chaityabhumi, Mumbai and what is the relevance of this public event in contemporary India. It explores how the Dalit community comes together to honour this day and the political implications it holds for their identity and empowerment. https://www.facebook.com/VikalpAtPrithvi RSVP at [email protected].
