Grass Widow’s acute guitar riffs, wound around three-way harmonized vocals, have inspired much affection on the live circuit. Its sound is notably influenced by female ’80s postpunk legends like Kleenex, the Raincoats, and obscure Portland teenage-girl band the Neo Boys (“They’re probably my favorite band ever,” bassist Hannah Lew says). Grass Widow shares a vibe of sonic abandonment with these foundational acts, which were similarly very affected by punk’s rawness– Jess Scott
What happens when middle-class people get caught up in the dizzying spell and allure of Information Technology, finance and real estate? They STUMBLE. This is what popular Kannada theatre person and director Prakash Belawadi tries to say in his English languge film.
Stumble offers a snapshot of ordinary lives trapped in the extraordinary “gold rush” of Bangalore (India). It speaks of how people in India, who opt for early retirement, struggle after investing their money in stock markets. Alongside, the movie deals with how young Bangaloreans who join hi-tech companies cope with the turbulence and joblessness when the technology “bubble” burst in an emerging economy such as India. Directed by: Prakash Belawadi, with with Anant Nag, Suhasini, fiction, 120 min.
A Q&A and discussion will follow the film. Additionally, Prakash Belawadi leads a local theatre company and is a leading advocate for democratic urban planning and strives to preserve the vanishing cosmopolitan past that made Bangalore the chosen city for many in India and abroad.
