Projekt, the Film&Photography Society of Lady Shri Ram College, New Delhi will be organising its fest as part of the Annual Lady Shri Ram College Fest, Tarang (13th, 14t, 15th November, 2009).

The Film Festival this year is called 'Paradise Lost', under which we will be showcasing some of the best of Dystopian cinema through the ages, and from across the world. Each of these screenings will be followed by an informal discussion:

Alphaville, 1965 (French with English subtitles)
Dir: Jean- Luc Godard
An American private-eye is rocketed through space into a city run by a dictator scientist. Lemmy Caution arrives in Alphaville, a futuristic city on another planet and finds his very American character is at odds with the city’s ruler, an evil scientist named Von Braun, who has outlawed love and self-expression. 


Delicatessen, 1991 (French with Enlish subtitles)
Dir: Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Set in the indeterminate future, a landlord who happens to be a butcher starts slaughtering humans to feed his starving tenants, a practice which outrages a guerilla group living in the sewers beneath the city streets. 


Akira, 1988 (Japanese with English subtitles)
Dir: Katsuhiro Ôtomo
On July 16, 1988, Tokyo was destroyed by what was believed to be a new type of bomb, triggering World War III. Thirty-one years later, in 2019, Neo-Tokyo has arisen from ashes under Japan’s new political system; but the glittering city is built on foundations of poverty, ignorance and despair. Kaneda is a bike gang leader whose close friend Tetsuo gets involved in a government secret project known as Akira. On his way to save Tetsuo, Kaneda runs into a group of anti-government activists, greedy politicians, irresponsible scientists and a powerful military leader.


Brazil, 1985 (English)
Dir: Terry Gilliam
In an Orwellian vision of the future, the populace are completely controlled by the state, but technology remains almost as it was in the 1970’s. Sam Lowry is a civil servant who one day spots a mistake in one of the pieces of paperwork passing through his office. The mistake leads to the arrest of an entirely innocent man, and although Lowry attempts to correct the error, it just gets bigger and bigger, sucking him in with it.
