JOIN US The National Gallery of Modern Art (NGMA) will screen the movies of legendary film makers from Japan, Russia, America and Iran starting Tuesday.
The week-long festival, ‘Journeying through life and relationships in the passage of time’, will feature films of Akira Kurosawa, Andrei Tarkovsky, David Lynch, Asghar Farhadi and Jim Jarmusch.
The festival will open with Kurosawa’s Ikiiru. Movies chosen for the screening are seminal films with philosophical contemplation on living and dying, journeys made through life, relationships formed and the passing of time.
Ikiiru deals with a dying man on his final quest for the meaning of life, Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky deals with existential desires and meaning and what makes life worth living.
Screenings will begin at 5 pm every day and entry will be on first-come-first-served basis. There will be discussions on the movies after the screening.
