Early bird film screening at DSA2024

No city for women – Gurgaon | Millennium City | 2023

Film screening at DSA2024, SOAS, University of London, Friday 28 June at 730 to 9am, in the Brunei Lecture Theatre.

A screening of the award-winning documentary No City for Women (60 mins) followed by a Q&A with Garima Jaju, Nandini Gooptu and Taanya Kapoor.

No City for Women explores everyday gendered violence in the city of Gurgaon, often billed as India’s Millenium City. Through women’s own narratives, the film documents their experience of living and working in the city and illuminates the gendered nature of urban life in India.

Directed by Dr. Rangan Chakravarty and edited by Arjun Gourisaria (two-time National Award Winner), the film premiered at the Beyond Borders Feminist Film Festival, Delhi in December 2023 and has since won several awards.

The film is based on research for the ESRC-funded GendV project (2020-24) a collaboration between the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford. Visit the project’s website to find out more.
