Documentary on ‘Magic Realism and After’ at ICC
View(s):
Indian Cultural Centre will screen a documentary film titled ‘Magic Realism and After’ directed by Suresh Kohli at 6.00 pm on Tuesday, October 29 at its auditorium at 16/2 Gregory’s Road, Colombo 7. ‘Magic Realism and After’ (Indian English Fiction: 1981-2011)
takes one through the trajectory of Indian writing in English starting from ‘Midnight’s Children’ and ‘The God of small things’ to the younger crop of authors who are making their presence felt internationally. The Indian novel in English has been significant globally because of the rich tradition of storytelling that it draws from and also because of the way it has appropriated the English Language and infected it with its own historical and Cultural emphases. The film explores several of these trends and concerns through a series on interviews with authors, publishers and people involved in literary festivals.
The admission is free on first come first served basis. For further details please contact the Indian Cultural Centre on telephone no: 2684698 or Email: iccrcolombo@gmail.com.
