Bangalore: NDTV Lumière and Pebble have come together to give the city’s cinema lovers an evening of the best in contemporary world cinema. Beginning this November, the initiative, called Tuesday Talkies, kickstarts with Jacques Audiard’s offbeat romantic thriller Read My Lips on Tuesday at 8.30 p.m. at Pebbles, the lounge bar located near Palace Grounds.
Tuesday Talkies will provide movie lovers with an opportunity to watch, on a giant LCD screen, contemporary cutting-edge cinema from around the globe. Further, it will also present critics and film enthusiasts from different backgrounds, a platform to share their views, opinions and thoughts. The Pebble-Lumière screenings will take place twice a month every other Tuesday at 8.30 p.m. and will be free and open to all.
Announcing the initiative with Tabula Rasa, Dhruvank Vaidya, Senior Vice-President, New Ventures, NDTV Imagine, said: “Tuesday Talkies is an initiative to further popularise world cinema in India and make it more accessible. Our Zenzi Lumière Film Club in Mumbai, along with World Cinema Wednesdays at Tabula Rasa in New Delhi, has already become popular. We will soon start such a venture in Kolkata as well. We are happy to join hands with Pebble for Tuesday Talkies.” The tickets to the internationally acclaimed movies by NDTV Lumière will be on first-come first-served basis.
