Khoj hosted a special film screening in collaboration with The Charles Correa Foundation, showcasing 13 thought-provoking short films from the Nagari Film Competition.
The Nagari Film Competition offers a unique platform for filmmakers, architects, urban designers, and planners to address critical urban issues in Indian cities. From bustling metropolises to smaller urban areas, this collection of short films encapsulates the diverse challenges faced across all scales of city life, presenting multifaceted narratives that shed light on our evolving urban landscape. These films provide an insightful lens through which urban researchers, practitioners, and citizens alike can better understand the complexities of housing, livelihoods, water management, and the reclamation of public spaces.
The screening, which was attended by a mix of students, artists, architects, and urban planners, offered an opportunity to engage with diverse perspectives on the future of urban living.
