Seven Islands and a Metro

Director: Madhusree Dutta
Duration: 100 minutes
Year: 2006

The multilingual Bombay, the Bombay of intolerance, the Bombay of closed mills, of popular culture, sprawling slums and real estate onslaughts, the metropolis of numerous ghettos, the El Dorado. This film is a tale of the cities of Bom Bahia / Bombay / Mumbai, through a tapestry of fiction, cinema vérité, art objects, found footage, sound installation and literary texts. The non-fiction feature film is structured around imaginary debates between Ismat Chugtai and Sadat Hasan Manto, the two legendary writers who lived in this metropolis, over the art of chronicling these multi-layered overlapping cities. Shot mainly during the monsoon the film portrays some extremely beautiful yet ruthlessly violent features of Bombay which, generally, are not part of the popular narratives.
Madhusree Dutta, the director of the film will be present for the screening. Her works include I Live in Behrampada, on a Muslim ghetto in the context of the Bombay riots which went on to receive the Filmfare Award for best documentary and Memories of Fear, on the relation between socialising of young girls and domestic violence which won the National Award for best documentary on social issues.
