A special preview screening of a powerful new Indian film, which will be attended by internationally acclaimed Indian actress Nandita Das, is being held in Wimbledon next week to raise awareness of mental wellbeing among the area’s Asian communities. The screening is being held as part of the Happy Soul Festival, a pioneering festival of Asian films exploring wellbeing.

Maati Maay, or ‘A Grave-Keeper’s Tale’, is directed by Chitra Palekar and based on a short story by Mahasweta Devi. Alongside Nandita Das as Chandi, it stars Atul Kulkarni as her husband Narsu, an undertaker, and Kshitij Gavande as Bhagirath, his son. The film previously debuted at the London Film Festival last October.

Entrance to screenings (8th – 12th July) and talks is free but must be pre-booked. For more information and to book call 020 8772 5559.
