The US Consulate General Kolkata has regular film screenings at their center on Chowringhee. The auditorium is a good-sized one though on the underlit and gloomy side {and the chairs at the back can be a tad uncomfortable}. They screen drama, comedy, thrillers, and suspense – you can pick according to the genre you like best. So you can even catch an adaptation of Toni Morrison’s Beloved or an indie documentary like In the Shadow, based on the life-story of Jerri Zbiral, whose mother and sister survived the Nazi destruction of the Czech village of Lidice during World War II – the screening was followed by a discussion with Jerri. Last month, they showed But I’m a Cheerleader, in honour of Pride month.
