Movies, Memories, Magic celebrates the hybrid cinematic and cultural heritage sculpted by London’s South Asian communities across time and space. This documentary is the culmination of a year-long UK heritage lottery-supported South Asian heritage project – Memories Through Cinema, led by the UK Asian Film Festival (UKAFF) in collaboration with Queen Mary, University of London. Aiming to celebrate creativity by democratizing arts and in turn excite and inspire the audience in Bangalore, British Council is organizing the screening of the documentary that has been premiered at the Nehru Centre in London as part of the 20th UK Asian Film Festival 2018 as well.
Film screening will be followed by a discussion with the film maker Dr Ashvin Immanuel Devasundaram. He is a lecturer in World Cinema at Queen Mary, University of London, and author of India’s New Independent Cinema: Rise of the Hybrid (Routledge, 2016) – the world’s first book on new Indian Indie cinema.
