SCREENING SATURDAY 9th AND MONDAY 11th MAY

Desperate to flee Calcutta’s rat race, four friends escape to an idyllic guesthouse in the countryside. Their encounters with locals, particularly two women, expose tensions of class, masculinity, and modernity. Filled with some of Ray’s most indelible characterisations and lavish images, Days and Nights in the Forest touches on masculine vulnerabilities and Indian class divisions with the graceful complexity of a master at his peak.

Preceded by a short recorded introduction from Wes Anderson.
