IGNCA FILM CIRCLE
IGNCA Film Circle will screen Ishti, a film made in Sanskrit language and has subtitles in English. “Ishti” literally means search for the self, yaga etc.
Ishti is based on a social theme. The film is set in the mid-twentieth century Kerala when young Namboothiri Brahmins successfully challenged the orthodox, patriarchal traditions of their community which allowed the patriarch, the eldest male member of the family, sole control of the family property and denied normal education to its members particularly women.
The film has been directed by Dr. G Prabha and is of 108 minutes duration. The film will be screened at IGNCA Auditorium, Media Centre, 3, Dr. R. P. Road, on 9th September at 6.30 p.m.
