Samriddhi screened three Nagari films — Level Up!, Udta Banaras, and Sparrow — at her campus, and the screening was followed by a thoughtful and energetic discussion with students from different batches.
‘Level Up!’ made a strong impact on the students. Many expressed that it genuinely opened their eyes to understanding the everyday challenges faced by people with disabilities. The discussion revolved around the importance of universal accessibility and how inclusive design is not an optional feature but a fundamental responsibility for architects.
Students connected deeply with ‘Udta Banaras’ themes of heritage and identity. They appreciated the cinematography and the layered storytelling. A key part of the conversation focused on how redevelopment doesn’t just alter physical buildings, it affects homes, communities, memories, and local economies, often in irreversible ways.
‘Sparrow’ led to a meaningful conversation on waste and its urban implications. Students discussed how waste is not just an environmental issue but a socio-spatial one, especially for low-income communities living on the urban peripheries near dump yards. The film helped them reflect on how mismanaged systems shape lived realities and inequalities in cities.
