Chester Film Society is committed to showing the best of recent films from World Cinema, showcasing films that may have been missed or not shown at the cinema at all.
In conjunction with Picturehouse, Chester Film Society’s Film Programing Group has put together a diverse programme that showcases the very best of cinema from around the globe. Film Society membership is only £10 for the whole season and members can then buy tickets for each film for just £5. As always, non-members are still welcome with tickets at the full standard Picturehouse price.
A government scheme sees newly widowed Santosh inherit her husband’s job as a police constable in the rural badlands of Northern India. When a low-caste girl is found raped and murdered, she is pulled into the investigation under the wing of charismatic feminist inspector Sharma.
