SOME TIMES - Saturday 21st & Sunday 22nd @ 19.30
Paramjit Singh Duggal aka Pammi aka Doggie aka Parmeetay has problems bigger than his pet names. His mother wants grandchildren. His father wants him to join the family business. His boss wants way too much and pays too little. His girlfriend wants love, which is a concept he is not too familiar with. And he owes a mysterious man called Joseph some money. But he has his friends. And top class weed. And an affinity for whiskey. And a night life that would put Batman to shame. And because of all this, he has very little time.

Jyoti Bhatt was born in 1934 in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, he took an interest in drawing at an early age and went on study and then teach at numerous art schools across the world. He studied painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Baroda from 1950 to 1956, under NS Bender, KG Subramanyan and Sankho Choudhuri. During these years he also learnt the art of fresco painting at Banasthali Vidyapith in Rajasthan and began teaching. In 1961 Bhatt won an Italian government scholarship to study at the Academia Di Belle Arti in Naples for two years. From Italy, he went to the Pratt institute in New York, where he had received a Fulbright fellowship. He was trained in the graphic arts and began to take a particular interest in printmaking.Bhatt returned to Vadodara in 1966 and continued to teach painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts. However his own interests were deviating away from painting, towards his new passions of printmaking and photography. In 1967 Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan organised a seminar in Bombay on the folk arts of Gujarat and it was this that inspired Bhatt to begin working on what was to become a major, but relatively unexplored part of his work. He travelled through Gujarat, visiting villages and tribal regions, much of which he had never seen before and took photographs of the changing world he encountered. His pursuit to qualify the camera as a painter's tool is evident in the landmark exhibition he organised in 1969, 'Painters with a Camera'.
Bhatt's work is held in over twenty-six public collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts, Delhi, the Uffizi Gallery, Florence and the British Museum, London. He has won numerous prizes including The Presidents Gold Plaque, gold medal at the International Print Biennale, Italy, UNESCO Photo contest, Japan and the top prize and 'FOTOKINA' World Photography Contest, Germany. He has also painted a number of public murals including at Parliament House, New Delhi. To date he has had over twenty-five solo shows, both in India and abroad. He lives and continues to work in Vadodara, India.

The Incredible Mullah Nasruddin | Pushan Kripalani - Wednesday 11th & Thursday 12th @ 19.00
A young school boy had the strange power to captivate his classmates with his stories. So enraptured were they with the magic of his words that their schoolwork suffered. The teacher, a sage, could not prevent the magnetism working, so he modified it. He put a spell on the young boy: “From now, however wise you become, people will always laugh at you. From now, whenever one of your tales is told, people will feel compelled to tell them until at least seven have been recited.”
And sure enough, centuries after the school boy grew up to become Mullah Nasruddin, his stories to this day have a compelling effect the world over. His appeal is universal and timeless and his tales witty and wise. As the Mullah would say: “Enjoy yourself, or try to learn you will annoy someone.”

Beyond the one | Anna Marziano - Thursday 28th @ 19.00
Anna Marziano, bangaloREsident@Experimenta-
Anna proposes a unique space at the Library where it is possible to meet and share notes and unedited recordings gathered during the production of the film BEYOND THE ONE. The documentation is accompanied by sound-works created by 12 students from Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology.
"This film is an open plural meditation on the ways we relate to one another in close relationships, also in light of the determinations we reject/modify/receive from culture and mass media. During 3 months of my bangaloREsidency in Karnataka, I dedicated a particular attention to the film process, involving many inhabitants of Bangalore and surroundings in conversation. Different voices cohabit and clash in the space of the film, expanded by images shot on 16mm, S8 and archive material. In the library of the Max Mueller Bhavan/Goethe Institute, I propose a space in which it is possible to sit and share some notes and sound-sequences I gathered during the film process, as well as the sound-works created by 12 students who took part in an Interim semester at Srishti School of Art Design and Technology. Their names are Siddhanth Uday Shetty, Medha Gupta, Anisha Sirur, Aparna Marcelin Valan, Shreya Pratyush Vyas, Sneha Ganesh, Devansh Mathur, Rachita Rao, Nimisha, Singhal, Aditi Sivaraman, Rahul Kumar Singh, Karan Sunil Sharma." - Anna Marziano
Anna Marziano experiments with filmmaking and in particular with the documentary form. Her new film explores the ways we relate to one another in close relationships, also in light of the determinations we receive/modify/reject from culture and mass media.
The work reveals a particular attention to the process. Anna involves some inhabitants of Bangalore in conversations and sound-recordings (thanks to the collaboration of groups or institutions and to fortuitous encounters). The film unfolds as a sort of plural discourse in which many voices dialogue/cohabit/clash in the space of the film. In addition to archive material, the film is shot on 16 mm and S8 mm. The shooting will continue during the following months all over Europe.
The current installation intends to document the film process that took place in Karnataka from September to November 2013, through sound-sequences and notes gathered during the Residency.
Anna Marziano's practice intends to examine the issues that concern the construction of contemporary identity, through a film process which questions subjectivity, social roles, multiple singularities and hidden nuances of individual and social bodies. Experimenting with the documentary form, the structure of her films involves gathering fragments of reality (sounds, conversations, images) and transforming them into composition, action and relation. Her projects are often process-based and reveal a participative character, i.e. she proposes public gestures such as readings or questions that may activate social spaces in urban communities.
