Pirate Cinema Bombay Not just a rooftop, even though that's not the least of it. Most obviously, a problem of transportation and translation. Pirate Cinema, unlike a pirated movie, does not travel easily, it cannot be exported, imported, airlifted, airdropped. It can't be booked, it won't be able to fill a space in the arts, or a certain vacuum in arthouse. In the best case, it will itself create a vacuum. Pirate Cinema can be translated, but not literally, and probably not by Pirate Cinema, and it can be copied, but not without a particular kind of pragmatism, or tactical ignorance, which itself would have to be copied, or translated. One can say: "The Beverly Hills of Bollywood", but the question is, then what? Pirate Cinema Bombay Sneak Preview Not just a sneak preview, or rather not a sneak preview at all, not in the sense that most of the images to be projected would reappear again. Still, it's a hint, and still, there's a story, a hint at a story, or history within cinema, which is sometimes even a history without cinema, and almost always a history slightly outside cinema, just enough to make retrospective impossible, and instead allow for preview. The story itself - how does one translate "punk" again, to hindi... ah, we forgot, one doesn't - begins in the west, and then goes east, and back in time. This screening, unlike some that will follow, is much more encyclopedia than pedagogy. Two hours of film, two lines of dialogue. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------                                                                      ()                                                                      ><                                                             pirate cinema bombay                                                             sundays from 7 to 10                                                             www.piratecinema.org <-- back
