Moving Politics – Cinemas from India

The four films of the final program part of the film and discussion series, "Moving Politics" curated by Dorothee Wenner und Nicole Wolf, are dedicated to the theme of "Family Ties" and focus on the varied relationships between actual family ties and their fictive counterparts in film. For example, the arranged marriage in India, usually oriented toward collective family interests, is by no means a thing of the past — and therefore a constantly ticking, political time bomb posing a threat to individual desires of the heart. At the same time, family relations are being newly conceived — in, with, and outside of cinema.
