As part of both the Rituparno Ghosh tribute events and the sixteenth London Asian Film Festival a free screening of Jeevan Smriti will take place at the Nehru Centre in London, tonight at 6.30 p.m. This is a special screening of Ghosh’s last completed film which was commissioned by the Ministry of Culture to mark the 150th anniversary of Tagore. Inspired by Tagore’s own autobiographical accounts, the film follows child Tagore emerging into a young poet, later growing to be one of the most significant voices in colonial India and in international literature.
The screening will be introduced by writer-filmmaker Sangeeta Datta (long-time associate of Rituparno Ghosh).
As the event is free, it is first come, first served so arrive early; doors open 6.00 p.m. and the film starts 6.30 p.m.
