*On August 31, ***@Prithvi will screen 'Ek Inquilab Aur Aaya': Lucknow
1920-1949 followed by a Q&A session with director Uma Chakravarti.*
Synopsis:
A documentary set in Firanghi Mahal, Lucknow, an institution for
rationalist Islamic scholarship founded in the late 17th century. Through
two women, Sughra Fatema and her niece Khadija Ansari, it tells the unknown
stories of women and their struggles to find their own ways of being in a
time of dramatic changes. One wrote poetry to express herself and the other
became a student activist who went to jail for being a revolutionary. The
film is an ode to humanism and the indomitable spirit of women who refuse
to give up the search for a meaningful life.
About the Director:
Uma Chakravarti is a feminist historian who taught history at Miranda
House, Delhi University, where she also curated film screenings of
documentary films from the late 70s onwards. She has recently made three
films: âA Quiet Little Entryâ on womenâs history and the small archives of
unknown people; a second film on the 1960s and 70s in India, and the way
political and social events at that time shaped individual womenâs lives
titled âFragments of a Pastâ, and her third film âEk Inquilab Aur Aayaâ
which dwells on the multiple histories of Muslim women which we rarely see
in documentary cinema.
Screening Details:
