On the occassion of Suchitra Mattai: she walked in reverse and found their songs, join us for screenings of the Academy Award-nominated short film Anuja. Co-created and produced by artist Suchitra Mattai and writer and director Adam Graves, Anuja tells the story of a gifted nine-year-old girl who, alongside her sister Palak, faces a life-changing opportunity that tests their bond and mirrors the struggles of girls worldwide.

The film will be played on a loop, starting at 2 pm. The film has an approximate runtime of 22 minutes.
