Explore the power of cinema with the Asian Film Archive's latest Reframe programme: A Time To Resist. Screened at the Oldham Theatre, the programme focuses on India, and how Indian cinema has put up as a means through which democracy has been imagined and negotiated. Curated by Shai Heredia, the founding director of India's moving image art biennial Experimenta, the lineup includes films that address issues of land, labour and human rights through poetry, music and humour.
Highlights include Love in the time of Malaria, a political satire and comedy that's also a cult classic; A Rifle and a Bag, an award-winning documentary about former guerilla fighters in India; and What Has Happened to this City, a gripping film that looks into the Hyderabad communal riots of 1984 and the complex social and political issues that emerged as a result.
