KUMAR TALKIES

60 minutes

Camera Avijit Mukul Kishore
Kumar Talkies is a run-down cinema in small town Kalpi, where few films run
longer than a few days, and each screening is missing a number of songs and
dances, thanks to the projectionist's whims. Once owned by the filmmaker's
father, it remembers better days, as seen unearthed through family
testimonies and 8mm footage. Still, the faces of moviegoers reflected in the
dark speak for themselves - the magic of cinema will never cease to
captivate.
The film explores the relationship between Kalpi--a small town in northern
India--and its only surviving cinema hall. The film chronicles Kalpi's
economic decline and its citizens' hopes and frustrations while taking a
nostalgic look at the lost, lavish world of cinema. The film also considers
the influence of television, which is gradually reducing the audience at the
hall.
