This month, we’re screening two short films: The Tent (2019), directed by Kannan Arunasalam, about a women-led protest in northern Sri Lanka, where wives and mothers of the disappeared established a roadside encampment opposite a government office, and the impossibility of leaving / the possibility of coming out (2022), directed by Imaad Majeed, a poetry film transposing a recent ecological disaster onto Sri Lanka's history of involuntary migration.
The documentaries are available to stream from 1 December (Monday) to 8 December (Monday).
