A short note on 'Mani Kaul'

Within the confines of the "temporal medium", Mani Kaul drifts closer to film poetry with striking vigour. A child of Bresson and Ghatak, we see Kaul's ardent dedication to his internalised philosophy of treating cinema as a temporal medium, while the vitals of cinema (image and sound) organically evolve into a sensuous interplay between each other. 

This month, we dive deeper into Mani Kaul's unparalleled career in cinema.

Week 2: Filmscapes in India

Landscapes lay dormant until an observer adds value. The observer adds history, emotions, and perspective to these unchanging entities, and thereby asserts time to it. 

We explore the lives of such landscapes in our second week with Filmscapes of India.

Who are The Parallel Cinema Club?

We are a community-run film society based out of Bangalore and Hyderabad. We are a group of film enthusiasts who meet up once a week to discuss the reel world, auteurs and themes, and occasionally host guest lectures.
