The much-anticipated second season of Chhader Chhobi began on a high note with the screening of Perfumed Nightmare by Filipino filmmaker Kidlat Tahimik. This intimate gathering on the rooftop of Brotherhood Initiatives Limited brought together cinephiles for a thought-provoking evening of film and discussion.
The film, a semi-autobiographical tale of dreams, identity, and resistance against colonial influences, struck a chord with the audience. It beautifully captured the journey of a dreamer navigating the complexities of personal aspirations and societal expectations.
Following the screening, the rooftop buzzed with lively discussions. Attendees shared their interpretations and reflections, creating a warm and open space for exchanging ideas without the constraints of formality. The conversations, much like the film, were raw, genuine, and deeply engaging.
The informal yet enriching experience is what makes Chhader Chhobi unique. With no rigid structure or overbearing formalities, it continues to offer a platform where cinema serves as a bridge for meaningful dialogue.
Season 2 has started with immense promise, and we can’t wait to see what the upcoming sessions have in store. Stay tuned for more evenings under the open sky, where films and conversations intertwine.
