The ‘Woman Question’ has been making headlines for some time in the country now, but it has been stealing focus from understanding men in their own right. Catch the film project, Let’s Talk Men 2.0, in the city with the screening of stellar films like — With You, Without You (Sri Lanka); Till We Meet Again (India); Men At Work (Nepal); and Pakistan’s entry to the Oscars, Zinda Bhaag. The project was first undertaken in 1998 and then had a second run, encouraging filmmakers from South Asia to decode the masculine and the challenges men face in becoming ‘macho’.
Rahul Roy, project coordinator and festival organiser tells us, “This was the first series of its kind where a bunch of male South Asian filmmakers set out to present films that explored the idea of what it means to be a young boy in different parts of the region.”
