Nazarband: A Film Screening and Discussion with Director Suman Mukhopadhyay

September 30, 2022 - 5pm

Foster Hall 103

Vasanti and Chandu, the unlikely pair of two jailbirds embark on a harrowing journey and unpredictable odyssey drifting across the intimidating terrain of Kolkata. Nazarband is a visceral look at survival and a heartfelt exploration into the depths of companionship and the meaning of rejection and acceptance.  

Film screening with discussion to follow. Refreshments will be served.  

Moderated by Dipesh Chakrabarty, Lawrence A. Kimpton Distinguished Service Professor of History and South Asian Languages and Civilizations.
