Screening of the IGNCA film Leela in Kheriya
Duration-53 minutes
Directed by Dr. Molly Kaushal
The film tells the stories of a few individual lives in Kheriya, deeply enmeshed with the Ramlila performed every year in the village. Kheriya is located near the township of Firozabad, known for its glass making factories. In the film, the furnaces of these factories serve as metaphors for rhythms of life, its grit and grime, as also its sublime essence. Lives of both Hindus and Muslims of Kheriya converge on the Ramlila stage, making it a moment of self liberation and self realisation for each.
Prof. Pushpesh Pant and Dr. Sukrita Paul will discuss the film after the screening .The discussion will be presided over by Dr. Sachchidanand Joshi, Member Secretary, IGNCA.
