Desperate to escape the Calcutta rat race, four city boys drive to the rural Palamau forests expecting a weekend of reckless indulgence and casual encounters. Instead, they find their egos shattered and their prejudices dismantled by the sharp, unexpected women they meet. 

Filled with some of Ray’s most indelible characterisations and lavish images (shot by cinematographer Soumendu Roy), Days and Nights in the Forest touches on masculine vulnerabilities and Indian class divisions with the graceful complexity of a director on sublime form.

This screening features a pre-recorded introduction from Wes Anderson (The Darjeeling Limited).
