Screening of Tamil movie Panaimarakkadu
View(s):“Panaimarakkadu” is one of the few Tamil feature films produced by a Tamil film-maker from the North after the the end of the war in 2009. As a result, the film provides the audience with a much-needed internal perspective that comes from within and which is based on the director’s lived-in experience of the North in the post war context.
“Panaimarakkadu” was first screened at the Jaffna Film Festival in September, 2017 and the film’s first screening outside of Jaffna will be in Colombo on the 5th of December.
The Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA) will be screening this film on December 5 as part of its post-war research and policy work with the objective of enriching research insights, policy debates and programmatic interventions on social cohesion and reconciliation.
The screening will take place at the Sri Lanka National Film Corporation (Tharangani Theatre) on Tuesday, December 5, at 4 p.m.
The screening will be followed by a moderated discussion with Kesavarajan Navaratnam (Director of Panaimarakkadu), Asoka Handagama (Film Director) and Vetrichelvi (Author & Poet based in the North).
