The Two-Headed Lore (60 min)
Director: Manjari Kaul
Presented by Devised Theatre
Devised and performed by Astha Aggerwal; Manjari Kaul; Mauraya Sharma; Maya Ghosh; Kiran Naig; and Vikas Gupta
In the cyclical rhythms of nature when dusk shifts into the blue of the night, our inner, hidden selves emerge. The night makes room for a subversion of the order of the day – an order of rationality and decorum and allows human imagination to take flight. Folklores, fairy tales and myths emerge through this journey which explores the dualities of life. The performers bring together stories told to us through generations with their own lived experiences of gender binaries and all that exists in-between and beyond

Cancer – The Emperor of all Maladies (Part III; 120 min)
A film presented by Barak Goodman
Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Siddhartha Mukherjee, tells the complete story of cancer, from its first description in an ancient Egyptian scroll to the gleaming laboratories of modern research institutions. At six hours, the film interweaves a sweeping historical narrative; with intimate stories about contemporary patients; and an investigation into the latest scientific breakthroughs that may have brought us, at long last, to the brink of lasting cures.

What happens when remote, isolated mountain communities come face to face with globalization?

This film based entirely on local perspectives, reflects on the process of change – what triggers the shift to modernization and what impact it has on personal, social and environmental spaces
