Screening | All We Imagine as Light (2024): Drama Film Exploring Friendship & Sisterhood in Mumbai


Centering on two roommates who also work together in a city hospital—head nurse Prabha and recent hire Anu—plus their coworker, cook Parvaty, this film alights on moments of connection and heartache, hope and disappointment. Prabha, her husband from an arranged marriage living in faraway Germany, is courted by a doctor at her hospital; Anu carries on a romance with a Muslim man, which she must keep a secret from her strict Hindu family; Parvaty finds herself dealing with a sudden eviction from her apartment. Kapadia captures the bustle of the metropolis and the open-air tranquility of a seaside village with equal radiance, articulated by her superb actresses and by the camera with a lyrical naturalism that occasionally drifts into dreamlike incandescence. All We Imagine as Light is a soulful study of the transformative power of friendship and sisterhood, in all its complexities and richness. Director: Payal Kapadia Cast: Kani Kusruti, Divya Prabha, Chhaya Kadam, Hridhu Haroon

Screening | Artists & Filmmakers Explore Love, Place, Memory, & Possibility


Bonding Humanity: Assemblies in Motion is a curated screening program bringing together artists and filmmakers who explore the fragile and shifting ties that shape how we live together -- in public and private, in memory and in movement. Inspired by the poetic, fragmented language of the essay film -- and its ability to hold both intimate reflections and structural critique -- the program imagines cinema as a gathering ground: a space where personal archives, fictional gestures, political ghosts, and speculative futures co-inhabit. These films stretch across disciplines and approaches, yet share a commitment to the aesthetic and ethical practices of bonding -- across silences, distances, ruptures, and shifting perceptions of time. The program features multigenerational voices in filmmaking, each engaging with what it means to hold onto love, place, memory, and possibility.

The bloodlusty count and his followers target the young, so a group of students plans a revolution, choosing Jonathan as their leader.

Ulli Lommel, Tenderness of the Wolves In a post-war German city, Haarmann, a seasoned criminal, is recruited as a police informant. He uses the cover this position affords him to prey on young boys, luring them into his garret before killing them with a bite to the neck and turning their bodies into sausages. Everyone in town loves Haarmann's meats, from black marketeers to the police inspector, but the tide turns when a nosy neighbor starts putting two and two together. Both films are in German with English subtitles.
