At Encina Commons

Stanford

Film scholar Manju Edachira unpacks how anti-caste cinema reaches beyond the screen to touch viewers literally and figuratively. Her talk on A.S. Ajith Kumar's documentary probes how marginalized communities use film as emancipatory archive: not just images to watch, but experiences that demand response.
