Fri 27 | 7pm | Prithvi House

Duration: 72 minutes

Watch Mast Mahila Mandali ('Cool Ladies Club') followed by a Q&A with the directors.

Synopsis:

Ten women from the eastern suburbs of Mumbai sign up for a filmmaking workshop. Not even knowing where the record button is, they plunge into a messy, immersive process of making a film together. Stealing time away from family and daily chores, they turn the camera on themselves and each other, capturing life of the city’s working-class, while talking about husbands, murders, toilets, and everything in between.

Evolved from an 18 month process in co-creation, Mast Mahila Mandali is a riotous, plotless, genre-bending documentary about how women labour, love, and claim joy in everyday life.

Directors: Anjum Shaikh, Darshana Mayekar, Gauri Rane, Kavita Ghuge, Kavita Khomne, Nazneen Siddiqui, Rehana Shaikh, Rohini Kadam, Sheetal Navle, Vaishali Mane, and Shilpi Gulati
