Partition (15) Fri 3 - Thurs 9 Oct + Intro by Pervaiz Khan on Fri 3 Oct


India, 1947: War weary, Gian resigns from his Sikh regiment of the British Army and returns to his village. As colonial rule comes to a hasty end, the turmoil of Indian partition spills over into a bloodbath of ethnic cleansing between the Sikh, Hindu and Muslim communities. When the villagers take revenge on a group of Muslim refugees, Gian saves young Naseem, and the two fall in love. Sarin's film is an epic, sweeping motion picture set against the violent upheaval of India's partition.

The opening night of Partition sees a special introduction by Pervaiz Khan of the South Asian Alliance who will also lead a discussion after the film.

"Thunder Pop." is the way the band describe themselves, ex members of Floor and Cavity, Torche mix the classic harmonies of the Beach Boys with the heaviness of the Melvins. Chicago instro-sorcerers Pelican create cinematic melody upon glacial heaviness, they achieve the sort of inevitability usually reserved for weather systems and natural disasters.
