ESPACIO FEMENINO/FEMININE SPACE
A festival of Spanish films directed by women filmmakers organized in collaboration with Cervantes Institute, New Delhi. The five award winning films to be screened have been made by film directors who made their cinematic debut in the 1950s and 1960s and are pioneers in the history of Spanish cinema. The films not only reflect the work and aesthetics of these women directors, they also present an interesting portrait of the historical period in Spain from 1953 to 1981. Two films will be screened every Wednesday and Saturday in March 2021 accessible for a duration of 48 hours. Vimeo links to the films will be posted in the IIC website (www.iicdelhi.in) and sent by email.

The Afghanistan Peace Process
Panelists: Mr. Mahmoud Saikal, former Ambassador of Afghanistan to the UN; Amb. Rakesh Sood, former Indian Ambassador to Afghanistan; and Maj. Gen. Ashok K. Mehta (Retd.)
Chair: Maj. Gen. Ashok K. Mehta
In the three decades long war, an institutional peace process in Afghanistan was hammered out in September by clinching two agreements: one between the US and Taliban; and the other between US and Afghanistan. Extraordinary concessions have been made by the US to the Taliban, still a US and UN terrorist organisation. Unfortunately, a ceasefire or even cessation of hostilities has not been obtained from the Taliban making the peace process the most violent in the history of conflict resolution. The Webinar will explore the trajectory and end state of the peace process
