Next screenings and update on Roving Film Festival

Dear Friends,

The “Roving Film Festival” is attracting sizable audiences in the universities. The festival has been to three universities so far. It started from Beaconhouse National University, moved to COMSATS and just finished its successful run in Lahore College for Women University. It’s been a joyful experience to all of us organizers, especially when we talk with the students and found that the films were hitting hard and spreading inspiration – from the topics to the techniques of film-making.

The Festival’s last venue is National College of Business Administration & Economics, where the dates were 22-24 May and the shows started at 5:00 pm everyday. We have to postpone Punjab University English Department screenings due to internal university administration issue. The new dates will be announced soon.

The schedule of the next thee films is posted below. Due to rising temperatures, we have moved the screening time to 6:00 pm each Sunday.

We invite you to just drop by any Sunday and cherish the films and participate in the burning post-screening discussions.

Wishes,
Team

“Strawberries and Chocolate”

Dear Friends,

“Strawberry and Chocolate is ultimately a film of many layers, and the viewer who invests more into watching the picture will get more out. While the movie might superficially seem to be a comedy, it is most effective during the quietly dramatic moments. The obvious fulcrum — Diego and David’s relationship — is as complex and antithetical as the film’s overall tone. Mentor and pupil, with different ideologies, the two need more from each other than either initially guesses at.” James Berardinelli

This week’s screening is “Strawberry and Chocolate”. Directed by Tomás Gutiérrez Alea and Juan Carlos Tabío, this co-produced Cuban-Spanish-Mexican film was released in 1994. It has been nominated for 1995 Oscars and won 22 other awards in Berlin International Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival and Havana Film Festival.
