"Stumble"
An evening with Prakash Belawadi co-presented by 3rd i and South Asian Studies Institute @ SF State What happens when middle-class people get caught up in the dizzying spell and allure of Information Technology, finance and real estate? They STUMBLE. This is what popular Kannada theatre person and director Prakash Belawadi tries to say in his English languge film. Stumble offers a snapshot of ordinary lives trapped in the extraordinary "gold rush" of Bangalore (India). It speaks of how people in India, who opt for early retirement, struggle after investing their money in stock markets. Alongside, the movie deals with how young Bangaloreans who join hi-tech companies cope with the turbulence and joblessness when the technology "bubble" burst in an emerging economy such as India. Directed by: Prakash Belawadi, fiction, 120 min. A Q&A and discussion will follow the film. Additionally, Prakash Belawadi leads a local theatre company and is a leading advocate for democratic urban planning and strives to preserve the vanishing cosmopolitan past that made Bangalore the chosen city for many in India and abroad.
