'Nandita Das on why and how she made a film on Manto'
45:36 Nov 1, 2022
'As Manto releases Sep 21, filmmaker Nandita Das gives us behind-the-scenes insights into this much-anticipated film and opens doors to conversations about cinema and literature, truth and censorship, and one writer’s unwavering commitment to shining a spotlight on our darkest selves, with Shoma Chaudhury at Algebra Club.  Nandita Das and her work speak the same language. Understated, intense, provocative.  And with her newest film and passion project — the much-buzzed about Manto, back from a rousing reception at Cannes — Nandita may have undertaken her most challenging project yet: a film that does justice to the genius and provocations of Urdu writer Saadat Hasan Manto, a writer whose obsessive attachment to the truth and clear-eyed examination of human behaviour saw him vilified, prosecuted in court and tried for obscenity six times, thrice in British India and thrice post-Independence in Pakistan.

The key idea behind Algebra is to bring together a fellowship of people who believe great cities are built not just on infrastructure but a life of the mind; who understand robust and liberal societies need the oxygen of great conversation and nuanced thinking. At a time when we are increasingly surrounded by rage and noise, Algebra is that unique live and continuous space where people could go for a genuine exchange of ideas and exposure to issues; where new seeds could be sparked, fresh perspectives formed, and intelligent connections made.   Algebra – the Arts and Ideas Club is designed to host over 60 conversations over the year with topline thinkers and practitioners from almost every discipline that impacts human affairs: politics, economy, environment, spirituality, cinema, medicine, science, technology, music, media, literature, the arts, sports, people’s movements, et al. In a line, Algebra is a space where one can meet an exciting, cutting-edge spectrum of people shaping the world in different ways. Where one can test one’s ideas, challenge one’s perspectives, and build friendships. A sort of fellowship of the curious and engaged.   Membership to Algebra is by invitation or referral. If you know an Algebra member, ask them to put you in touch with us.  For more, click HERE: http://www.algebratheclub.com/membership'
