| Dr. Kapila Vatsyayan, fondly and fittingly called the “grand matriarch of cultural research” passed away last week. She leaves behind an illustrious legacy of the books she wrote, the institutions she built and the abounding vistas she helped create for the arts. We offer our deepest condolences. As the period of lockdown moves to the stage of unlocking, new possibilities open doors. We move outdoors this week, to watch, and experience, albeit vicariously, the pleasures and wonders of our expansive universe. A series of illustrated presentations by the Indian Mountaineering Foundation serves as our access to adventure. The 3rd South Asian Short Film Festival organised by the FFSI is a wonderful platform to watch new-age cinema and comprehend the craft of the short film. Our listings of Lasya Kavya, on the life of Guru Alarmel Valli, and Express Film Club’s webinar on Aamis are continued to remind those that may have missed it. Our explorations of the contemporary through Italian cinema continue with Tito e gli alieni (Little Tito and the Aliens) (2017). Our weekly updates of the Met Opera, and DBF talks continue. Stay Safe. Stay Well. Stay Tuned. |
