Next change at Floating Weeds

- Full house?
- Not very...
...for an opening.

I found these lines from Ozu's Floating Weeds equally apt for our screening yesterday. We hope to see more of you at our next screening.

This Saturday, 28th June, at 6 pm, we will be watching two films by Sergei Paradjnov - The Legend of Suram Fortress and Ashik Kerib. Discussions, drinks and dinner can follow depending on the inclination.

You are also welcome to use our space to share your work.

For those not in the know, we are located at B-11, Guru Kripa, off Veera Desai Road, Andheri West, midway between Belle Vue Nursing Home and Reliance Fresh.

Let us know on 9920233732 (Kaevan) or 9820481356 (Vinoo) if you will be coming.

Floating Weeds at Floating Weeds

When we conceived Floating Weeds, our idea was to grow it into a loose collective of like-minded people, our friends and fellow drifters, pursuing our various interests on a commercial basis without compromising on what we enjoy doing. With that in mind, we have long been thinking of using Vinoo's extensive DVD collection, our 29 inch TV and the living room as an excuse to get everyone together and start talking. Finally, we are putting that thought into action by screening - what else, but - Floating Weeds, the 1959 Japanese film by Yasujiro Ozu from which we borrow our name, this coming Saturday, 21st June, at 7 pm. Discussions, drinks and dinner can follow depending on the inclination.

We plan to make screenings like this one a regular event at Floating Weeds. You are also welcome to use our space to share your work.

For those not in the know, we are located at B-11, Guru Kripa, off Veera Desai Road, Andheri West, midway between Belle Vue Nursing Home and Reliance Fresh.

Let us know on 9920233732 (Kaevan) or 9820481356 (Vinoo) if you will be coming.
