In an increasingly hostile environment of escalating violence, discrimination, and disenfranchisement, Arbab explores what it is like being a part of a minority group in India. The film ebbs and flows between him looking outside in his surroundings, where a constant stream of hostility erupts and engulfs all sides, and inside – where Arbab and his parents renegotiate their sense of home alongside a changing political reality.
The screening will be followed by a conversation with the team.
With “Looking back; looking ahead,” we explore how filmmakers depict their present experiences, challenges, and the urgency driving their art.
