CHANDIGARH SAHITYA AKADEMI
cordially invites you its upcoming event on
Sadda Punjab: Sahit, Sabhyachar ate Filman (Punjabi Literature, Culture and Films)
with
Sh. DALJIT AMI
(journalist cum documentary filmmaker who has worked in three languages, four forms of media, and written extensively on socio-cultural and political issues)
The thrust of the discussion will be the Punjabi spirit as it appears in literature and culture. In particular, the attempt will be to explore the achievements of literary giants in the land of five rivers and how their literature reflects the indomitable Punjabi spirit. It is, however, felt that more needs to be done to further popularize our literature and bring it to an national or even international platform.In recent years this exercise has been undertaken on celluloid, through the cinematic attempts made by talented young film producers from the region. Films have the potential to engage with wide ranging subjects and appeal to a wide variety of audience. How do Punjabi films stand vis-a-vis Punjabi culture and how does "Pollywood" represent literature that has its roots in the local terrain?
