Film: Black November 15, 2007

Dear All,

Cinemagic is delighted to announce the return of our weekly screening
programme. Screenings will now take place at our new location in Old
Salmiya, above LG Electronics.

You are invited to attend Cinemagic's weekly independent film screening
event. The event will take place on Thursday, November 15th, at the
Cinemagic Rooftop Venue above LG Electronics, Old Salmiya, and will run
between 7:00 p.m – 9:30 p.m.

This Week, we will be screening "Black".

Black (Hindi: ब्लॅक, Urdu: Èáی˜) is a
Hindi/Urdu and Indian English film released in 2005 and directed by Sanjay
Leela Bhansali. Rani Mukerji won a streak of awards for her brilliant
interpretation of a blind, deaf and mute girl who graduates from a normal
college.

Time Magazine (Europe) selected the film as one of the 10 Best Movies of
the Year 2005 from across the globe. The movie was positioned at number
five. Indiatimes Movies ranks the movie amongst the Top 25 Must See
Bollywood Films.

The film was screened at the Casablanca Film Festival and the
International Film Festival of India.

Michelle McNally (Rani Mukerji) loses her eyesight and hearing at the
tender age of eighteen months, causing her to grow up in a world where she
is isolated in the darkness of her own existence. She understands nothing
of the frustrating world around her, making her a violent, uncontrollable
eight-year old. Her parents, Paul and Catherine, are at their wits' end,
until Debraj Sahai (Amitabh Bachchan) enters their lives. An elderly
alcoholic teacher for the deaf and blind, Debraj sees himself as a
magician and is a disillusioned eccentric man. He takes it upon himself to
bring young Michelle into the light.

For its part, Cinemagic Kuwait, is organizing these events as part of its
efforts to contribute to the development of an internationally competitive
Kuwaiti audio-visual production industry, partly by bringing the
filmmakers and audiences together and by Increasing the public's interest
in – and appreciation for – the art of filmmaking.

As always, attendance is free of charge (but seating is limited). Snacks
and refreshments will be served.
