The construction of the Indian planned city of Chandigarh 70 years ago saw Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier complete his life’s work. Born in a time of unrest, resettlement and the Partition of India, Chandigarh stands for progress and the newly emerged democracy. The film accompanies four people involved in culture and arts who live in the city, reveals universal connections and – in an atmospherically dense narrative – reflects on Le Corbusier’s legacy, utopian urban concepts and the cultural differences between East and West.

This screening is part of New City Dreaming a series of events produced by Pooleyville for Heritage Open Days 2025.
