Bioscope Thursdays - FREE Movie/TED Talk Screenings

Every Thursday at 9 PM, we will be screening some very interesting movies/short films/videos/talks, across the world, especially book adapted ones!

This is followed by an intellectual discussion on 3 points from the video.

We will be screening a TED Talk - Why is colonialism (still) romanticized?

Loved The Crown and the Jane Austen? Colonialism remains an inescapable blight on the present, lingering in the toxic, internalized mythologies and stereotypes that have outlived the regimes that created them, says historian Farish Ahmad-Noor. Examining why these prejudices and narratives persist (and sometimes thrive), he suggests a multidisciplinary approach to reject cultural obsessions with romanticized history and prevent this nostalgia from perpetuating past oppressions.
