India beyond the well-known routes: An evening of impressions, questions, and discoveries
This evening takes you on a visual journey through an India that goes far beyond classic travel routes. Doris and Cord von Restorff share their encounters in the northeast and east of the country and open the view to regions that are often overlooked in tourism perception. There is also a special focus on the Maha Kumbh Mela, one of the largest religious festivals in the world.
Between Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, and Nagaland
The film footage leads into the northeast of India, where landscapes, everyday culture, and religious traditions are closely interconnected. Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, and Nagaland represent a region with great cultural diversity, vibrant rituals, and impressive natural areas. It is precisely this mix that makes the discovery experience so intense.
Eastern India with strong contrasts
Odisha and Chhattisgarh are also stops on this journey. Here, local history, regional identity, and social reality converge to form a picture that is far from tourist clichés. The film evening combines travel impressions with cultural-historical background and invites a nuanced view of India.
Maha Kumbh Mela as a major religious event
A highlight of the evening is the look at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj. The festival is regarded as the largest religious event in the world and exemplifies the spiritual depth and collective strength of Indian pilgrim culture. This offers travelers and culture enthusiasts an extraordinary access to a country between piety, movement, and lived tradition.
Conversation with filmmaker Doris von Restorff
The event offers not only a film screening but also space for questions and exchange. Doris von Restorff, chair of the Karlsruhe Film and Video Club, personally accompanies the evening and brings her perspective as an experienced filmmaker. This results in a lively conversation about the country and its people, travel, and perception.
