Samuel Beckett: Silence to Silence (Ireland)
(80 min; 1984; English)
Director: Seán O’Mórdha 

What a sensitive documentary can do, and what Seán O'Mórdha's Samuel Beckett: Silence to Silence does admirably, is bring together the man's life and work in a way that offers glimpses of how the one flowed into the other. For those who haven't read much about the singular Nobel Prize-winner, the documentary provides illuminating details of his childhood, school days and his war years with the French resistance; for admirers, there are tantalizing snatches of his prose, poetry and inimitable plays.

Episode I: Spain, Morocco and Iran | ( Click here to watch )
(58 min; English)
Director: Jason Holmes

Monty starts in Spain, a country synonymous with Christian traditions but which, for 800 years, was actually Islamic. At the Alhambra, he discovers the basic building blocks of paradise gardens - green spaces divided into four by channels of water that meet at a central fountain. In Seville, Monty explores their symbolic significance. Water is the key feature of these gardens. In Morocco, Monty discovers the wide variety of paradise gardens. But it is Monty's final stop that sheds the most light on the origins of these incredible gardens. In Iran, he explores the huge influence emanating from the gardens of old Persia. In the cultural centres of Isfahan, Kashan and Shiraz, Monty visits some of the most exquisite gardens in the world and then in the middle of the desert, comes across the secret to their creation. 

Kolkata Diaries

Kolkata Diaries
Start Date
16 December 2021, 12:00 am

The Bengali’s passion for football is only rivalled by his passion for food: fish, rice—and sweets. So much so that most Bengalis are said to treat Bengali cuisine on par with other world cuisines! What we know as typical Bengali food is more often the fare that was developed over time in West Bengal, with Kolkata as its epicentre. This weekend, IIC Chefs will delight you with an authentic spread that includes traditional mustard fish curry and mutton masala, accompanied by starters, a variety of vegetables and dals, and soft luchis. IIC will be serving the special Bengali menu from 17th to 19th December. These items shall be served in addition to the regular menu in the Dining Hall and Lounge, and also can be booked on prior demand as ‘Takeaway’ items.
