Ritwik Ghatak's acclaimed film Subarnarekha will be screened today as part of the Partition Week at the Independent University at 12pm.
The Indian Bangla is the last part of Ghatak's trilogy dealing with the aftermath of the Partition of India in 1947 and the refugees coping with it. It was ranked 11th in a critics' poll of all-time greatest films conducted by Asian film magazine Cinemaya in 1998.
The Partiion Week is organised by the Bayaan Collective, in collaboration with the University Press Limited, and features a series of discussions and presentations on the legacies that have been created with the partition of South Asia. The event began yesterday through a discussion session on “Identity formation and Bengali Cinema: Pre and Post -1947” at the Chhayanaut Bhaban.
