Wanakam Movie Nights - Episode 1

This is a Wanakam Community's Event - Please register for free to join!

For our opening night at Wanakam, we are gathering in the dim light of our Amsterdam Oost sanctuary to witness a masterpiece of South Indian Parallel Cinema.

This evening is a journey into the lush, emerald landscapes of 1970s Kerala. It is a story of folklore and transformation, following a legendary, half-mythical wanderer who arrives in a small village like a seasonal breeze. Through a series of magical encounters, the local children are transformed into animals—blurring the lines between the human spirit and the natural world.

It is a film about the fleeting nature of childhood, the wisdom found in ancient fables, and the deep, spiritual connection we have with the earth. Known for its breathtaking visual rhythm and a soundtrack that feels like a lullaby from another lifetime, this is "slow cinema" at its most enchanting.

A Little Mystery: To respect our screening license, we aren't naming the film publicly. Curious about the title? All will be revealed in your confirmation email once you’ve registered.
