Health and Cinema Festival-Pune

HEALTH & CINEMA FESTIVAL
Venue: FTII, Law College Road, Pune
Date: 05.12.2008 – 07.12.2008, 12.12.2008 – 14.12.2008

Can watching a film like The Departed help you cope with your own betrayals? Does The Queen make you think about your place in class and society? And can a movie like Letters From Iwo Jima teach you anything about war and conflict? Therapists recommend movies to help change the way we think and feel. A combination of health and cinema is quite the perfect prescription for both – the mind and the body. The Health & Cinema Film Festival is an effort to educate people under the guise of entertainment. The festival is organized by Dr. Mohan Agashe in association with FTII, Alliance Française de Poona and Max Mueller Bhavan, Pune. A total of nine films will be presented, that deal with the topic of health: There will be three films each from France, Germany and India. After the films there will be a discussion with experts from the health sector and at the end of the festival the experts will share their thoughts about health & cinema during a panel discussion.
