Filmbar screening of Mani Kaul's Uski Roti (1970) at Research and Publication Centre (RPC) on Friday, April 17, 2026 at 5:00 pm. 

A desolate bus-stop on a highway, figure of a village woman Balo, waiting to deliver a meal to Sucha Singh, her husband, a bus driver. He expects the traditional duties of an average Indian rural wife. Balo in turn accepts her husband's independent lifestyle. Balo hurries to the bus stop. She is late delivering the meal, trying to save her younger sister, Jinda, from being seduced by the village rake.

The screening will be followed by an informal discussion over tea. Lift is operational. All friends are welcome.

Address: Research and Publication Centre (RPC), 2nd Floor, 65 Main Boulevard Gulberg, Lahore (next to Standard Chartered Bank, above Indesign showroom).
