Dear friends,
To mark International Working Women's Day 2018, People's Film Collective is
organising the forthcoming edition of the 'Kolkata Monthly Film Screening &
Conversations' series, focussing on working women's struggles for a life of
dignity and self-determination. We will screen two films, 'Nirnay'
(Decision) and 'Doud' (The Frontrunner), followed by conversations with
athlete and protagonist of 'Doud' Pinki Pramanik and activist Anindya
Hajra, who will share about the protests over the Transgender Bill and why
it is very much a working class concern.
We are pleased to invite you to participate in the programme on 9th March,
during 6-9 pm, at the Jogesh Mime Academy auditorium, Kolkata.
Please find the poster and full description of the programme below. Share
it with your friends.
Zindabad!

*Synopses:*
*NIRNAY (Decision)*
Dir: Pushpa Rawat & Anupama Srinivasan
58 mins (2012)
Hindi with English subtitles.
The film is filmmaker Pushpa Rawatâs debut film, her personal journey as
she tries to make sense of her own life and that of her women friends. Set
in a lower-middle class neighborhood in the outskirts of Delhi, it explores
the lives of women who are young, educated and bright but who feel bound
and helpless when it comes to making any major decision regarding their
life, be it work or marriage. By following the lives of the women over
three years, the film documents the changes in their lives and tries to
capture the essence of their existence, sometimes through conversations and
sometimes by simply observing their seemingly innocuous everyday routine.
Pushpaâs own negotiations with her family, her boyfriend, and his family
form the backbone of the film.
*DOUD (The Frontrunner)*
Dir: Debalina & Payoshni Mitra
48 mins (2013)
Bangla with English subtitles.
Critical debates about female hyperandrogenism and sports have made
headlines all over the world in the recent years because of the
controversies surrounding South African Athlete Caster Semenya and the
brave challenge of hyperandrogenism policies by Dutee Chand of India.
However, in India the issue has received unparalleled attention in the past
decade for various reasons. One such reason was the false allegations
against athlete Pinki Pramanik of raping a woman. She was arrested after
she was accused of rape by a woman to whom she had given refuge. This film
is an emotional journey into the life of Pinki as she bravely encounters
public slander and resists social conservativism and gender binary. It is
about the journey of the protagonist from being the aberration, the feared
rapist, and a cheater in the public eye to self-realization. It is notable
that the High Court of Calcutta quashed all the allegations against her in
2014.
