Absurdist Theatre
Eeb, Aaly, Ooo won the Filmfare Critics award for best film of 2021. This film, a mix of verité and scripted humour, tells the tale of an immigrant who comes to Delhi with dreams of making it big but ends up as a human monkey Repeller. A black comedy that makes one laugh as well as introspect.

A Different Diana
A frontrunner for Oscars, this film on Diana Spencer, is a film with a difference. The story is not about Diana as she appeared to the public-beautiful, enchanting, unruffled. The Diana we see is unhappy, sad, on the verge of tears and wondering desperately ‘what happened’ to her life.

An Incisive take on Blacks in America
Jason Mott narrates the story of a nameless protagonist, a writer who is on a hectic booze-fuelled promotional tour for his bestselling book. The book leaves the reader with a sense of heartbreak at how Blacks have been treated and are still being treated. The book has been awarded the National Book Award of 2021.
