A key figure in the Japanese New Wave, who continued working into the 21st century, Imamura is the only director from Japan to win two Palme d'Or awards.

Film Title: The Ballad of Narayama | 1983 | 130 minutes | Japanese subtitled in English

The Ballad of Narayama is a 1983 Japanese film by director Shōhei Imamura. It stars Sumiko Sakamoto as Orin, Ken Ogata, and Shoichi Ozawa. It is an adaptation of the book Narayama bushikō by Shichirō Fukazawa and is slightly inspired by the 1958 film directed by Keisuke Kinoshita. Both films explore the legendary practice of ubasute, in which elderly people were carried to a mountain and abandoned to die. Imamura's film won the Palme d'Or at the 1983 Cannes Film Festival.

The film is set in a small rural village in Japan in the 19th century. According to tradition, once a person reaches the age of 70 he or she must travel to a remote mountain to die of starvation, a practice known as ubasute. The story concerns Orin, who is 69 and of sound health, but notes that a neighbor had to drag his father to the mountain, so she resolves to avoid clinging to life beyond her term. She spends a year arranging all the affairs of her family and village: she severely punishes a family who are hoarding food, and helps her younger son lose his virginity.

The film has some harsh scenes that show how brutal the conditions could be for the villagers. Interspersed between episodes in the film are brief vignettes of nature – birds, snakes, and other animals hunting, watching, singing, copulating, or giving birth.

Hyderabad Liberation Day?
Sat Sep 17, 8:00 PM
Lamakaan & Yunus Lasania
Hyderabad Liberation Day: Annexation or merger? How the erstwhile state of Hyderabad was annexed to India in 1948.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-run central government announced that it would organize a year-long ‘celebration’ marking ‘Hyderabad Liberation Day’ starting from September 17, the day in 1948 when the erstwhile state of Hyderabad, run by its Nizam, Osman Ali Khan, was annexed to India.

The Indian army was sent by the Centre on September 13, 1948, after negotiations with the last Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan fell through after independence. The state was formally annexed to India on September 17, and the event was preceded by political unrest and violence inflicted by the Razakar militia.

More importantly, the annexation is also a painful memory for many Muslims in the Hyderabad state, given that there was a massacre of thousands from the community after the Indian army took over the state. The atrocities against Muslims are well documented in the Sunderlal Committee (set up by India’s first PM Jawaharlal Nehru) to look into the atrocities of Muslims) report.


But what is the truth of Operation Polo? To understand that, Lamakaan will organize a talk on September 17 detailing the incident. BK Gupta, a teenager in 1948 in Karimnagar district, will be the chief guest and speaker. A memorial will also be held for the late Burgula Narsing Rao, a former CPI member who was one of the core student leaders of his time in 1948.

Let’s talk NFTs
by Amarnath Sandipamu

Non Fungible Tokens.
Or simply NFTs.

You must have heard these words buzzing through the covid lockdowns. Couple of other words too: Crypto and Bitcoin?

What’s common between all of these? And most importantly, how’s it going to change the field of art, art practices, artistic expressions and the world at large. That’s where NFTs come into picture.

As someone who’s entire artistic journey has been centered around the sense of being independent, seeking maximum control on his works, Amar stumbled upon blockchain technology that gradually made him understand NFTs and the power of web3 ecosystem. He sees a great potential in it for artists, curators and any independent professional or group. Through his talk he aims to kindle a discussion and build a community by sharing his knowledge and making others connect.

Come let’s ponder over the possibilities of decentralisation that promises to revoutionalise the way humans are going to interact with each other in the near future.

For a focussed engagement the number of participants will be limited to 20-25. Interested ones would be required to fill in a google form: https://forms.gle/pjNdm98pezT9gWrWA. Upon shortlisting, you will be sent an invite.

Come, let’s talk about NFTs.

PS: The talk is not about crypto markets or aimed at investment enthusiasts.
