Anand Patwardhan’s documentary film ‘Prisoners of Conscience’ provides a vivid account of the State of Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi from June 1975 to March 1977.

We invite one and all to attend this important screening and discussion to express solidarity with all the prisoners of conscience.
About the Stanley Kubrick: Stanley Kubrick (/ˈkuːbrɪk/; July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999) was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and photographer. Widely considered one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, his films were nearly all adaptations of novels or short stories, spanning a number of genres and gaining recognition for their intense attention to detail, innovative cinematography, extensive set design, and dark humor.
Born and raised in New York City, Kubrick was an average school student but displayed a keen interest in literature, photography, and film from a young age; he began to teach himself all aspects of film producing and directing after graduating from high school. After working as a photographer for Look magazine in the late 1940s and early 1950s, he began making low-budget short films and made his first major Hollywood film, The Killing, for United Artists in 1956. This was followed by two collaborations with Kirk Douglas: the anti-war film Paths of Glory (1957) and the historical epic film Spartacus (1960).
In 1961, Kubrick left the United States due to concerns about crime in the country, as well as a growing dislike for how Hollywood operated and creative differences with Douglas and the film studios; he settled in England, which he would leave only a handful of times for the rest of his life.
Film Title: 2001: A SPACE ODESSEY | 1968 | 139 Mins | UK & USA | English Language with English Subtitles
About the film: 2001: A Space Odyssey is a 1968 epic science fiction film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick. The screenplay was written by Kubrick and science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke, and was inspired by Clarke's 1951 short story "The Sentinel" and other of his short stories. Clarke also published a novelisation of the film, in part written concurrently with the screenplay, after the film's release. The film stars Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester, and Douglas Rain and follows a voyage by astronauts, scientists, and the sentient supercomputer HAL to Jupiter to investigate an alien monolith.
The film is noted for its scientifically accurate depiction of space flight, pioneering special effects, and ambiguous imagery. Kubrick avoided conventional cinematic and narrative techniques; dialogue is used sparingly, and there are long sequences accompanied only by music.

Into the Beat is a beautiful film directed by Stefan Westerwellea, where teen ballerina Katya, played by Alexandra Pfeifer, discovers hip-hop by chance and is faced with an impossible choice: Does she follow her parents’ footsteps... or her newfound passion?
For Hamburg ballet student Katya, the hard training for a scholarship at the New York Ballet Academy is almost a matter of course, as she is the daughter of Victor Orlow, a celebrated ballet dancer who, after the death of his wife, is now looking after Katya and her younger brother Paul on her own. There are only three weeks left until the exam under the merciless regime of the dance teacher. One day, however, Katya discovers a factory hall on her way where people are dancing - albeit to completely different sounds and with impetuous acrobatic movements. She immerses herself in this young, wild hip-hop dance scene, feels free, is recognized and meets the dancer Marlon, played by Yalany Marschner. But the more she feels that this is her form of expression, the more she comes into a conflict of conscience with her beloved father, who can no longer dance since an accident on stage. The daughter, however, feels obliged to continue the ballet tradition in the family. Katya has to make a decision.

Alfred Hitchcock was born on August 13, 1899, in Leytonstone, Essex, England, and passed away on April 29, 1980, in Bel Air, Los Angeles, California, USA. Known as the "Master of Suspense," Hitchcock revolutionized filmmaking with his unique style and innovative techniques.
Hitchcock had a remarkable ability to create suspense and tension, often utilizing techniques like the "MacGuffin," an object or event that drives the plot but is insignificant in itself. His films are renowned for their meticulous visual storytelling, where camera angles, lighting, and set design convey emotions and narrative elements without the need for dialogue. A hallmark of Hitchcock’s work was his brief appearances in his films, a playful signature that fans eagerly anticipated.
His exploration of psychological themes such as guilt, fear, and obsession brought depth to his characters and narratives, as exemplified in films like "Psycho" and "Vertigo." Hitchcock was also a pioneer in using innovative techniques and technology, employing long continuous takes in "Rope" to create real-time action and designing a confined set for "Rear Window" that heightened the film’s voyeuristic tension.
Music was another crucial element in Hitchcock’s films. Collaborating with composers like Bernard Herrmann, whose scores for "Psycho" and "Vertigo" are iconic, Hitchcock used music to enhance the emotional and suspenseful atmosphere of his stories. He had a knack for turning ordinary situations into extraordinary and terrifying scenarios, as seen in "The Birds," where a normal town is suddenly attacked by flocks of birds.
A recurring theme in Hitchcock's work is the "wrong man" narrative, where an innocent person is wrongly accused or caught up in dangerous situations. This theme is prominent in films like "North by Northwest" and "The 39 Steps," adding to the tension and intrigue of his stories.
Hitchcock’s unique style and mastery of the thriller genre have left a lasting impact on cinema, establishing him as one of the most influential directors in film history. His innovative approach to filmmaking and ability to engage audiences through suspense and psychological depth continue to inspire filmmakers and captivate audiences worldwide.
Film Title: ROPE | 1948 | 80 Mins | USA | English Language with English Subtitles
About the film: Rope is a 1948 American psychological crime thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, based on the 1929 play of the same name by Patrick Hamilton. The film was adapted by Hume Cronyn with a screenplay by Arthur Laurents.
Hitchcock and Sidney Bernstein produced the film as the first of their Transatlantic Pictures productions. Starring James Stewart, John Dall, and Farley Granger, this is the first of Hitchcock's Technicolor films and is notable for taking place in real-time and being edited to appear as four long shots through stitched-together long takes. It is the second of Hitchcock's "limited setting" films, the first being Lifeboat (1944). The original play was said to be inspired by the real-life murder of 14-year-old Bobby Franks in 1924 by University of Chicago students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb.
