SUMMARY:CINÉ CLUB - IN CUSTODY
DESCRIPTION:Alliance Française Islamabad\, in collaboration with Asian Study Group\, is pleased to present a screening of In Custody (1994)\, directed by Ismail Merchant and based on Anita Desai’s novel. \nThe film follows Deven\, a modest Hindi professor\, who sets out to record the work of a legendary but declining Urdu poet. What begins as an academic pursuit soon turns into a deeply human journey—revealing artistic decay\, cultural neglect\, and the burden of preserving a vanishing literary heritage. \nWith unforgettable performances by Shashi Kapoor\, Om Puri\, Shabana Azmi\, and poetry by Faiz Ahmed Faiz\, In Custody offers a moving reflection on language\, identity\, and artistic responsibility. \n📅 Wednesday\, 14 January 2026\n⏰ 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM\n🚪 Doors open at 5:30 PM\n📍 Alliance Française Islamabad\n5\, Street 55\, F-7/4 \n🗣 Language: Hindi & Urdu\n💬 English subtitles\n⏱ Duration: approx. 2 hours \n🎟 Free entry | Registration mandatory\n🔗 Register here: https://forms.gle/Uzdbds15s7e282Ji8 \nWe look forward to welcoming you for an evening of meaningful cinema.
