18.00 JONAKI
This is the latest film from the director of one of the most promising Bengali films of the last decade (Labour in Love, 2014). With stunning imagery and dream-like sequences, the director has said that it was his grandmother’s life - married at 16 and then later stuck in an unfulfilling relationship - that inspired the story: “The spirit of the film is based on my grandmother, and in many ways, it is an extension of the stories she would tell me.”While Jonaki, an 80-year-old woman, searches for love in a strange world of decaying memories, her lover, now old and grey, returns to a world she is leaving behind. 
Film by: Aditya Vikram Sengupta
