Event Description : Kriti Film Club presents 'The End of Flight' film screening.
Our country has seen riots, wars, murders, rapes and even genocides, all of which have left behind millions of victims whose wounds may never heal. The Partition of India and the Second World War forced millions into political refuge, but today more than 60 years down the line there are few to tell the tale. This film is a short series of firsthand accounts of how they made their way into India against all odds. Dere-Tun-Dilli (English/2012/27mins) Dirs.Divya Cowasji, Shilpi Gulati Eighty four-year old Bhagwani Taneja recalls the time when her entire community packed up their homes from Dera Ismail Khan, in Pakistan’s North West Frontier Province, and moved to Delhi during the Partition. As she faces the camera, Bhagwani talks about the tough time she and others from Dera faced while trying to build homes and new lives in a divided nation. The community took their protest to the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s bungalow who greeted them warmly and lent his garden for them to stay a few nights. In the film, the makers have attempted to capture the turmoil that the Dera community faced during this period even as the trauma of time remains lost to the current generation. Screening followed by discussion with Film makers and some of the storytellers
