Mod Foundation, in collaboration with Charles Correa Foundation, presents the exclusive screening of the Nagari Short Film Competition 2025.

This year’s theme, Public Realm in Urban India, explores and documents the character of public spaces in Indian cities. Conventionally, public spaces are understood as places open and accessible to all, such as maidans, parks, and waterfronts. However, the density and everyday dynamics of Indian cities expand this idea to include streets, footpaths, markets, alleyways, and transport infrastructure. These spaces function as vibrant arenas of daily life where multiple activities unfold simultaneously. The public realm in India is therefore layered and constantly shifting, shaped by patterns of use, scale, and social interaction that vary across time, seasons, and communities. It is within these spaces that urban culture is most visibly expressed and negotiated. With public space at its core, Nagari will explore how people across caste, class, gender, and age engage with and shape the public realm.

Join us for an evening of short film screenings followed by a Q&A with the CCF team and the filmmakers.
