"Leftism is inclusive. It does not discriminate between religion, caste, creed and ethnicity. That's poetry!" believes Saeed Mirza, one of India's most distinguished auteurs, who is now the subject of a 60-minute documentary, Saeed Mirza – The Leftist Sufi. Helmed by Kireet Khurana and N Padmakumar, the film unravels different facets of the FTII alumnus, considered a pioneer of the parallel cinema movement of the 1970s and 80s with films like Mohan Joshi Haazir Ho, Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyoon Aata Hai and Salim Langde Pe Mat Ro. This evening marks the film's premiere in Mumbai, as part of Osianama's ongoing festival at Liberty.
