My Friend Husain
Hindi Film (71 mins)

Synopsis: The docu-feature is a journey that explores the multi-faceted, multi-talented M.F. Husain through the eyes of his friends and admirers across the globe. The journey moves from his early days when he was identifying himself, expressing his thoughts and feelings through the color and canvas. The loss of his mother when he was just a year and a half old had left a very deep impact on his personality. A child's heart, the spontaneity and search for the feminine warmth and love reflected in his work very strongly.

Synopsis: Olivier Award-winner Eve Best (A Moon for the Misbegotten and Hedda Gabler) and BAFTA nominated actress Anne Reid (Last Tango in Halifax) star in this new classically staged production of Oscar Wilde’s comedy directed by Dominic Dromgoole, former Artistic Director of Shakespeare’s Globe. The first play from the Classic Spring Theatre Company’s Oscar Wilde Season, A Woman of No Importance, will be broadcast live at the NCPA, Godrej dance theatre from the Vaudeville Theatre in London’s West End.

An earnest young American woman, a louche English lord, and an innocent young chap join a house party of fin de siècle fools and grotesques. Nearby a woman lives, cradling a long-buried secret. First performed in 1893, Oscar Wilde’s marriage of glittering wit and Ibsenite drama satirised the socially conservative world of the Victorian upper-class, creating a vivid new theatrical voice which still resonates today.
