Programme

Bhangra Jig (Pratibha Parmar, 1990)

Nina's Heavenly Delights (Pratibha Parmar, 2006)

Bhangra Jig

A young South Asian woman walks through the city of Glasgow, reflecting on the colonial opulence around her in what was once the largest city in the British Empire. This short film disrupts dominant notions of European culture and offers a new perspective of what constitutes national cultures and identities.

Nina’s Heavenly Delights


Told through the eyes of Nina Shah, a young Scottish South Asian woman on a quest to save her deceased father’s restaurant. A surprising love story combining both Scottish humour and Bollywood spectacle, this quintessentially Glaswegian film will definitely warm your heart and make you chuckle.

CCA Annex

All films will be available to watch online alongside the live events on CCA Annex and for a couple of days after.
