We are happy to host film screenings on
Fridays of October by our partner and
bangaloREsidency host Maraa, as part of October Jam 2018.
Something in the Air presents films around the blind spots in human condition in all its slowness and erratic appearances. The selected films are reflective of the theme and in essence, an assertion of ghostly presences, that haunt us in everyday life.
Four of the five movies will be screened at the Bhavan:
