Director Chaitanya Tamhane’s hugely impressive debut Court, about an ageing activist and folk singer who is dubiously charged with inciting a man into committing suicide, observes - with both humanity and humour - the painful inequalities in modern India. Highlighting themes of modernity versus tradition, wealth versus poverty, young versus old, this beautifully constructed film and a deeply engrossing work of cinema is an acute reflection on the fabric of contemporary Indian society.

The Wed 4 May 17:50 screening of Court will include an introduction by Nikesh Shukla, author and editor of Rife Magazine.

After the film, from 20:00, join Nikesh and other members of the audience for Conversations About Cinema, an informal discussion about the themes of the film in the Café/Bar. You’ll receive 10% off drinks with your cinema ticket – so grab a glass and let us know your thoughts about Court.
