Ruchir Joshi: Short Films + Conversation with Tony Cokes
Institute of Contemporary Arts
Memories of Milk City: Sketches for a Film on Ahmedabad, dir. Ruchir Joshi, India 1991, 13 min., English, Bengali & Hindi with English subtitles


This programme features two short city films that Ruchir Joshi made following the three-year experience of Eleven Miles. Commissioned by Alan Fountain at Channel Four, both films focus on Indian cities in the early 1990s, respectively Ahmedabad in Memories of Milk City and the filmmaker’s hometown in Tales from Planet Kolkata, employing what Joshi describes as ‘the first-person diary, the subjective essay and the meditative-poetic form’ to engage critically with existing representations of these places and their inhabitants, and crucially to propose new forms and ways of thinking about them.

Following the screening, Ruchir Joshi will be in conversation with artist Tony Cokes.
