NEIGHBOURHOOD FIRST SERIES 

Restoring India-Nepal Relations: What Steps to Take

Speakers: Amb. Bekh Bahadur Thapa, former Ambassador of Nepal to India; 

Amb. Ranjit Rae, former Indian Ambassador to Nepal; and Maj. Gen. (Redt.) Ashok K. Mehta

 

Moderator: Maj. Gen. Ashok K. Mehta

 

India-Nepal relations are at one of their lowest points; but not as bad as in 2015.  Both countries have enjoyed excellent relations as two closet neighbours with open borders and shared history, geography, culture, religion and people to people ties beyond compare. The recent slide has to be arrested and relations restored to even keel between the two sovereign nations

The Reconquest (La reconquista)

(103 min; 2016; Spanish with English subtitles)

Director: Jonás Trueba

 

Recipient of the Award for Best Director, Special Mention & Violette d’Or, Toulouse Cinespaña 2016; and Special Award, Turia Awards 2017

 

Manuela and Olmo meet in the future as they had promised fifteen years earlier as teenagers, when they lived their first love. La reconquista is a film about a quest for time; or about the awareness of time: of time lost and time recovered; about what we remember about ourselves and what we don't remember; about the words, gestures and feelings to which we remain faithful, because they define and compel us today, yesterday and tomorrow
