Alliance Française de Bombay brings to you an exclusive screening of ‘Lalanna’s Song’ – a short film by filmmaker Megha Ramaswamy, produced by Newton Cinema.

Lalanna’s Song is a cautionary look into small acts of hate taking place in this age of abundance. Two young mothers, Miriam and Shoby, encounter twelve-year-old Lalanna whose ways unwittingly unsettle them, and they take deceptively small measures in setting her straight.

This film screening will be followed by a Q&A session with filmmaker Megha Ramaswamy.

The film premiered at the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles 2022 where it won Special Mention for Innovation and Pushing Boundaries

So, grab your seats and join us for this highly charged journey of two memorable characters!

Date: Thursday, 16 February
Time: 6:00 pm
Venue: Alliance Française de Bombay, Churchgate Centre
