A special screening of Srinivas Krishna's groundbreaking 1991 film, coinciding with the world premiere of his installation for The Light in Winter event at Federation Square.

Set in Toronto, five years after his parents perished in the Air India bombing, outcast Krishna (the director himself) is drawn into the antics of his extended family.

Saeed Jaffrey (My Beautiful Laundrette) plays three different roles in this heady mix of biting realism, Bollywood escapism and erotic fantasy.

Voted Top Ten South Asian Film (BFI poll). Followed by a Q&A session with director Srinivas Krishna.
