Description :
The Diverse Film Festival organized a special screening of the South Indian movie "Kantara" for the IITR community. The screening was intended for the IITR community, which includes students, faculty, staff, and their families. Such community-centered events provide an opportunity for individuals from various backgrounds to come together, appreciate different cultures, and build a sense of inclusivity.
The screening of "Kantara" was specifically organized to celebrate the festivals of Pongal, Makar Sankranti, and Lohri. These festivals are typically associated with the harvest season and are celebrated in different parts of India with various customs, traditions, and regional significance. The movie screening served as a way to honor these occasions and introduce the community to the cultural richness and diversity associated with them. It allowed participants to gain exposure to different cinematic experiences, broaden their cultural horizons, and strengthen the bond among the members of the community.
