Film/Video PREMIERE DIVINE VISION (DIVYA DRISHTI) DIRECTED BY SIDHARTH SRINIVASAN THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 2002, 8 PM FREE AUDITORIUM

In the desultory environs of suburban Mumbai, a charlatan sadhu counsels innocent workers and housewives tied together in a complex net of sexual betrayal, unfulfilled desire, and blind faith in his healing power. When he begins to lose his eyesight, he discovers a new "vision" that leads to the truth. Sidharth Srinivasan, in his first full-length film, examines the very nature of truth and belief. Divine Vision was awarded Best Film at the ITC Digital Talkies International Film Festival 2001 and the Karachi International Film Festival. 2001, India, color, video, in Hindi with English subtitles, 120 minutes.
