Documentary on Kolkata’s Jewish community is ‘a story of a diaspora of hope’

The Mumbai International Film Festival will broadcast Subha Das Mollick’s film “Dwelling in Travelling.”

Are you in need of another reminder of how hospitable India has been to immigrants, and how this openness may reshape a city and a culture?

Dwelling in Travelling, a documentary by Shubha Das Mollick, follows the experience of Kolkata’s Jewish community. Das Mollick pursues the theme of “diversity struggling to keep afloat” with archive video and interviews with surviving members of the city’s Jewish population, she told Scroll. in. At the Mumbai International Film Festival, the documentary will be exhibited in the Indian Competition section (January 28-February 3).
