This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we're featuring a special talk from the 59th New York Film Festival with directors Maggie Gyllenhaal & Kira Kovalenko moderated by Maddie Whittle, NYFF Talks programmer, and translated by Sasha Korbut. Roiling currents of familial and feminist rebellion connect two extraordinary films in the NYFF59 lineup. In Spotlight selection The Lost Daughter, Maggie Gyllenhaal's electrifying directorial debut, a reluctant mother is haunted by a crisis in her past, while in Main Slate highlight Unclenching the Fists, the searing sophomore feature from Russia's Kira Kovalenko, a daughter strains against the domestic tyranny of her father. Featuring powerhouse performances and distinctive visual vocabularies, both films offer a layered yet urgent examination of the societal and patriarchal expectations that constrain their independent-minded protagonists. This special conversation brought the two directors together to discuss their respective forays into filmmaking, the process of realizing their vividly drawn yet enigmatic heroines, and the use of fiction to transcend an untenable status quo. NYFF Talks were presented by HBO.

Producties moesten noodgedwongen worden gestopt. Toch wilde Christian Seijkens van De Theater BV de positiviteit in dit roerige jaar. Dus waarom geen kerstlied gezongen door een grote groep vocalisten uit de Nederlandse theaterwereld? Het werd een hele grote groep en was het een hele grote klus dat een uitstekende organisatie vereiste. Het resultaat is fantastisch! Luister maar en het lied kruipt direct onder je huid. In Spotlight spraken we met Christian over zijn initiatief en de klus die gedaan werd door ruim meer dan 100 mensen, vóór en áchter de schermen. Wil je de clip zien?

When we speak about India and its relationship with the world, we often focus on what we have received from the world. But what about what we have given to it? This doesn’t get covered as much. Even when it does, we go to the extremes. Either we were a vishwaguru or our only contribution is ‘zero’. Is there a more nuanced view? That’s what we explore in this episode. What have we given to the world? From the stories of our mythology that have parallels in Persian and Greek myths, the versions of Ramayana and Mahabharata in Indonesia, Malaysia and Cambodia, the spread of Buddhism from India to the world, and the trade between West Asia and Africa and west coast Indian states. Then with the coming of Mughals – our blending of music and dance forms, with British – our export of fine arts, weaving, craft and food and with independence  - our export of Bollywood, food, music, English writing, yoga, spiritualism and software. In Spotlight, we feature Renu Saluja - a trailblazer who in a short but illustrious career edited the finest Hindi films of the 80s and 90s. She gave life to films that have since gained cult status. We discuss her craft, her films and friends and her impact on the many women editors who followed on her footsteps. Plus, our usual recommendations on films, books and music. Episode Highlights: 00:00 to 17:00 –Introduction and spread of Buddhism from India  17:00 to 40:00 – India's trade with South Asian littoral states, Odisha and Chola maritime empires, influence of Ramayana on South Asia and the many Ramayanas 40:00 to 50:00 – West coast of India and its relationship with Persia, Egypt and East Africa, our influence on English 55:00 to 85:00 – Modern India and its message to the world - Tagore, Vivekananda, Gandhi, Ramanujam.

“After a good dinner one can forgive anybody, even one’s own relatives.” - Oscar Wilde Good food does that and more. We talk about food in this episode – its salience in our celebrations, its magic in evoking memories, being a marker of our identity, in experiencing the divine and as an expression of love. There’s no stopping our appetite to talk about food. From Gandhi’s letters and Vivekananda’s wanderings to Naipaul’s distaste and Rushdie’s memories, in the chaats of Assi Ghaat, the mahaprasad of Puri, in films like The Lunchbox and Maya Bazaar – food is everywhere in our culture. We serve up a platter that should sate you. In Spotlight, we talk about life and times of Begum Akhtar. From the penury of a childhood spent in Faizabad to being the toast of musical soirées across India, Begum’s trailblazing career gave dignity and respect to light classical singing forms like dadra, thumri and ghazal. The strong classical roots of her gayaki combined with an easy, assured style and an arresting stage presence made Begum a cultural phenomenon of post-independent India. A Begum Akhtar disc playing in the living room reflected a refined taste. We pay our tribute to the tour de force that was Begum Akhtar. Plus, our usual discussion on what we are reading, listening and watching.       Episode Highlights: 00:00 to 25:00 – Introduction, Food in Culture, Celebration of Food, Onam Sadhya, Bhojohari Manna 25:00 to 45:00 – Food as Memory, Midnight’s Children, Guide, Bawarchi, Maacher Jhol and Caribbean Chutney Song 45:00 to 65:00 – Divinity of Food, Food in Puri, Udupi, Kashi, Chaat, Malaiyo, Karejwa, 65:00 to 100:00 – Food as Identity, Gandhi and Garlic, Veg/Non-Veg divide, Premchand’s Pandit Moteram Ki Diary, the great Rosogolla debate, The Mistress of Spices, Golmaal, Mithun’s Rice Plate and Halwa-waala 100:00 to 120:00 – Food as an Expression Love, A Love Supreme, The Abundance, The Lunchbox, Aamish, Ganashatru, Neeraj Ghaywan’s Juice, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye 120:00 to 145:00 – Introduction to Begum Akhtar, What Makes Her Unique, Early Life, Ghazals 145:00 to 174:00 – Post independence Fame, Singing the Great Poets (Ghalib, Momin, Faiz, Kaifi, Shakeel), Thumris and Folk Songs, Disciples and Legacy 174:00 to 180:00 – Recommendations   *अन्न ही जीवन है और जीने का मुख्य आधार है* हजारों साल पहले लिखे गए उपनिषदों में वर्णित यह ब्रह्म वाक्य, अनेक युगों का साक्षी होते हुए, आज भी एक शाश्वत सत्य की तरह हमारे साथ हैं।  सदियां बीत गईं, पीढ़ियां आई-गईं, दौर बदलते गए लेकिन हमारा आहार हमारी जिंदगी का मुख्य आधार बना रहा। इस बार के एपिसोड में बात हमारे आहार पर, कि कैसे हमारे पॉपुलर कल्चर ने अन्न और आहार की महत्ता को दर्ज किया है। रामायण और महाभारत के काल से होते हुए आज के दौर तक हमारे साहित्य सिनेमा और संगीत के जरिए खाने खिलाने की बातें हमारे उत्सव-त्योहारों में, त्रासदियों में, समाज को जोड़ने और तोड़ने में और हम सबकी रोजमर्रा की जिंदगी में, पॉपुलर कल्चर के संदर्भो के बहाने आहार पर एक नजर -- स्पॉटलाइट में इस बार बात, बीसवीं सदी की सबसे यादगार आवाजों में से एक, बेगम अख्तर की, जिन्होंने अपनी कला, प्रतिभा और मेहनत के बल पर हिंदुस्तानी संगीत में ना सिर्फ अपनी एक विशिष्ट जगह बनाई वरन उपशास्त्रीय और लोक संगीत की कई धाराओं जैसे गजल, ठुमरी, दादरा, कजरी को मुख्यधारा में सम्मान दिलाने का एक बेहद महत्वपूर्ण काम किया।  बात बेगम अख्तर की संगीत यात्रा की और उनकी यादगार रचनाओं की और अंत में इस हफ्ते सिनेमा, संगीत और साहित्य मैं जो नया देखा सुना और पढ़ा है, उस की अनुशंसा आप सबके लिए LinkOuts: Books Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie An Area of Darkness by V.S.

Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy. —Franz Kafka We don’t take such a dim view. There’s more to bureaucracy than the dreary reign of rules, files and approvals. We discuss the portrayal of bureaucracy in popular culture in this episode. We talk and talk – of the dry humour in Yes Minister, about Kafkaesque nightmares, on the satire in Krishan Chander’s Jamun Ka Ped, about Harishankar Parsai’s vyangya, of Madna in English August or Travancore of T.S. Pillai and the darkness in Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro. Bureaucracy didn’t bore us, for sure. In Spotlight, we feature Salil Chowdhury – a true renaissance man whose songs, plays, short stories and music lit up the Indian cultural scene for over four decades. Salilda, as he was popularly known, was more than another film music composer. We pay our tribute to him on his 25th death anniversary. We figured a single episode isn’t enough to cover his oeuvre. We will return to him another time. Plus, our usual discussion on what we are reading, listening and watching.       Episode Highlights: 00:00 to 20:00 –Weber and state, Russian literature, the famous Urdu writing quartet 20:00 to 40:00 – Garam Coat, Rajinder Bedi, Gogol, Bhuvan Shome, Utpal Dutt 40:00 to 60:00 – Mrigaya, M.S.

The effects of COVID-19 reach far beyond the realm of human health. In Spotlight this week Pastor Calvin Lindstrom and I consider Americans' right of religious liberty vs. submission to governmental authorities, especially in light of restrictions on “non-essential,” in-person worship services and church gatherings. Should Christians be governed by Hebrews 10:25 or Romans 13 and what is a proper, biblical response to government overreach? After the break the conversation turns to pending legislation, specifically SB 2762 which would require comprehensive sex ed starting in kindergarten (with NO parental opt-out) and SB 3788 which, among other things, deletes teaching honor and respect for monogamous, heterosexual marriage. Pastor Lindstrom presents strong reasons to pursue private Christian education or home education once the school shutdown is lifted and provides informative resources for families (here and here). The podcast concludes with encouragement from Pastor Lindstrom to stay engaged in the political process and to VOTE! Calvin Lindstrom is the pastor of Christian Liberty Academy and the Church of Christian Liberty in Arlington Heights, IL. He is also a long-time IFA board member.

In Spotlight on Asia this week, RFI's Rosslyn Hyams meets Jean-Joseph Boillot who spends his time as an academic researcher travelling between France and India. Boillot's latest book -  soon to be published in English in India - is called L'Inde Ancienne au chevet des Politiques (literally Ancient India on the Politicians' Bedside Table) takes parts of an ancient Indian treatise on how to rule, and what leaders should do to attain prosperity for all. He says that Narendra Modi, apparently a fan of the Arthashashtra represents a new generation of Indian leaders who refer to their own culture's teachings and experiences rather than borrowing from foreign sources. Boillot suggests that European politicians today take a leaf out of the book of Kautilya, the right-hand man of the Indian Maurya Empire's Ashoka who reigned some 2300 years ago. Under the headings such as "on discipline", "on good behaviour of counsellors and ministers", "on safety of assets and persons" , "on the kingdom's vices and calamities", it sounds quite contemporary. Boillot makes it more relevant by updating the vocabulary in his translation, while reminding us that even Ashoka, remembered as a great leader, made mistakes and lost his empire.

He made his debut at The Met by banging his head into a chandelier, then he started to sing and the New York audience loved him. Jonas Kaufmann is the guest in this episode of Spotlight and this is an archive special, recorded in 2013. He talks to Kerstin Berggren about singing Wagner and Verdi, how he did a rather special audition for the legendary Giorgio Strehler in Milan and why he likes to sing lieder.From early childhood music was an important element in his life and his grandfather, who lived in the same house in Munich, played the piano and sang Wagner all the time.Now Jonas Kaufmann is one of the world's leading opera tenors with many memorable performances. In Spotlight he talks about some of them, Don Carlo at The Royal Opera House in London and Parsifal at The Met in New York.When he started to sing Wagner some critics said: It sounds too beautiful...
