Hi,


Date/Time: Friday, December 7, 2018 at 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM


Venue: Marwah Studios, Film City Noida, FC 14/15, Film City, Sector 16A, Noida 201301



Film buffs in Delhi.. Don't miss the premier of the film Lend me Your Eyes, documentary film by Dóra Elek on Friday, 7th December at 2:30 pm at Marwah Studios, Noida. The film is dubbed in Hindi with English subtitles


Synopsis
The circle of life is an eternal mystery. During their journey to southern India, the actors of Baltazar Theater are getting closer to the big secret. The members of the Baltazar Theatre, founded 20 years ago, are professional, yet mentally disabled actors. The kind of people, about whom - if we were to meet them on the street - we would never guess they were blessed with artistic, or any other talent.


In India libraries of ancient knowledge are treasuring palm leaves, written 2000 years ago. The palm leaf manuscripts of those days recount the lives of people living today from their births right up to their deaths. It’s like a book of fate, like a great history

Finding the leaves written personally to the actors may help them understand the past, explaining the present and drawing up the possibility of a happy future.


Just as the many thousand year old palm leaves have to be written again every 500 years because the ink fades, in the same way one can overwrite human nature full of prejudice and fallibility. The film reshapes the concept formed by the public opinion of handicapped people by showing their power.
