24.10. BERSAS Special Film Screening "TEES" (Dibakar Banerjee, 2024, Hindi with English subtitles)

"Tees" by Dibakar Banerjee - film screening moderated by Reyazul Haque. A young writer, Anhad, writes a story set in the year 2030 defying a government ban on speaking about that year. Why does he want to tell this story? What truly happened in 2030? And who is he, really? This unreleased Hindi film by one of India’s prominent filmmakers interrogates the shifts in contemporary India through an intimate portrait of three generations of a family. Rooted in a future setting, the narrative seamlessly moves through different moments of the past, asking what happens to the family and to the nation when a certain economy and politics collide and take hold of everything. This search for an answer presents narratives that are not allowed to be told, in and beyond cinema. Eventually the film, having been blocked due to political reasons, has become an autobiography of itself. Language: Hindi, with English subtitles; 2 hrs 22 mins Dibakar Banerjee is the director of Khosla Ka Ghosla (2006), Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye (2008), Love Sex Aur Dhoka (2010), Shanghai (2012), Detective Byomkesh Bakshy (2015), and Love Sex Aur Dhoka 2 (2024). *Reyazul Haque is a film scholar and a doctoral candidate at IAAW, Humboldt University, Berlin.*
