<-- back For decades, this little gem's circulation remained almost exclusively limited  to the institution it was conceived, set and filmed in: the School of Planning  and Architecture in Delhi, which Arundhati Roy - who wrote the screenplay, is  credited with production design, and appears prominently in the role of Radha -  attended in the 1980s, and where in the 1990s a tradition was established to  welcome first semester students with viewings of a second-generation VHS copy  of the film (taped from national television, where it ran exactly once) - not  only in order to increase their appreciation for the utopian dimensions of both  urban planning and architecture, but also to share, promote, or at least  commemorate, a no less utopian vision of student life in India. As you're going  to see, the worn-out colors of our own copy match the overall vibe of the film  rather well: Set in 1974 and accompanied by quite a bit of unlicensed Western  music from the period, it's a downtempo yet funky, firmly softcore feminist  and, by Indian standards, surprisingly funny affair - not the long-lost Indian  architecture school pinku, but maybe something even better, for which, in the  history of Asian cinema, no distinct genre label has ever been established. The  claim that the film had acquired "cult status", occasionally repeated on rather  obscure cinema blogs, is mostly unfounded, but it is true that, 30 years after  its original release, "In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones" is halfway famous  for the appearance of a young Shah Rukh Khan, and a young Shuddhabrata Sengupta. 1988 turned out to be not the worst year in Indian cinema, so that's where we're going to continue next week. And as always: you're welcome to bring blank media! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------                                                                           Sunday                                                                        August 19                                                                        from 9 pm                                               In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones                                                   Pradip Krishen & Arundhati Roy                                                                    1988, 108 min                                                         https://0xdb.org/0233926                                                       https://indiancine.ma/AKBX                                     https://piratecinema.org/trailers/s07e13.mp4                                                                       + Vorfilme                                                                      + Nachfilme                                                                            + Bar                                                             Pirate Cinema Berlin                                                                 U Kottbusser Tor                                                            E-mail for directions --------------------------------------------------------------------------------          ()          >< pirate cinema berlin www.piratecinema.org <-- back
