Sculpted Time: An Architecture-Focused Film Series — “Nostalgia for the Future” Screening

  • Lakmahal Community Library 8A Alfred House Road Colombo, WP, 00300 Sri Lanka (map)

The Geoffrey Bawa Trust’s new film club, “Sculpted Time: An Architecture-Focused Film Series,” highlights the relationship between film and architecture. Selected films will emphasise built environments as dimensional characters within the narrative, rather than mere onscreen backdrops. The series continues with a screening of Nostalgia for the Future by Avijit Mukul Kishore and Rohan Shivkumar on 28th February.

Nostalgia for the Future explores the making of Indian modernity through four distinct buildings erected over the course of a century. Filmmaker Avijit Mukul Kishore and architect Rohan Shivkumar collaborated on the project, which won Best Long Documentary at the 2017 International Documentary and Short Film Festival in Kerala and received the Jury’s Special Mention at the 2017 Signs Film Festival in Kochi.

This event is free and open to the public.  Following the screening, light refreshments will be served along with time to mingle and discuss your thoughts on the film.
