Agata e la tempesta (English: Agata and the Storm) is a 2004 Italian comedy film directed by Silvio Soldini. In this film, award winning director Silvio Soldini brings us a comedy full of whimsy and eccentricity about a group of people whose fates intertwine unexpectedly.

Storyline: In Genoa, Agata runs her bookstore and, without meaning to, causes light bulbs and appliances to burn out. At the same time that a younger man declares his attraction to her, her brother Gustav, a morose architect, a distant husband, and an indifferent father, discovers that he was adopted and has a half-brother in the Po Valley. To Agata’s great pain, she sees her young man with another woman – plus, Gustav cuts himself off from her and from his wife and son. Agata goes to the Po Valley, meets Gustav’s brother and the brother’s wife, and tries to reconnect by letting life wash over her. Wisdom comes from traditional Chinese medicine and from good literature.

Screening of the Italian Movie ‘Respiro’

Respiro is a 2002 Italian film written and directed by Emanuele Crialese and released in English-language markets in 2003. In the Italian language, respiro means a “breathe”. On an impoverished Italian island, a free-spirited woman is accused of madness by townspeople fed up with her antics.

Plot: Grazia, played by Golino, is a free-spirited mother of three married to shy fisherman Pietro (Vincenzo Amato) and living on the idyllic but isolated island of Lampedusa in the Mediterranean Sea. She shows signs of manic depressive behaviour—one moment she’s laughing wildly and swimming half-naked in the sea, while the next she’s curled in a ball on her bed. Out of her earshot, the adult members of her extended family vaguely discuss sending her to a facility of some sort in Northern Italy.

Grazia is closely shepherded by her oldest son Pasquale, played by Casisa, who appears to be about fourteen years old and often assumes more of a parental role with his mother. After Pietro puts down one of Grazia’s dogs because he thinks it might be dangerous, impulsive Grazia sets all the stray dogs free in the town’s makeshift kennel. After the dogs swarm over the island, the locals demand that Pietro do something about his wife. But when he tells her he plans to send her away to Northern Italy, she runs away and hides in a cave on the shore, where she’s secretly tended by young Pasquale, who brings her food every day.

Pietro and some friends doggedly search the island for Grazia, so Pasquale leaves one of her dresses by the edge of the sea as a ruse. Pietro finds the dress—the one she was wearing the day she disappeared—and nearly everyone presumes she has drowned. Pietro, however, continues to search for her, and just before an important local religious festival, he sees her swimming in the water. He dives in to assist her, thinking a miracle has occurred, and many of the villagers follow suit, thus providing a sheltering circle around her as she is brought safely to shore.

Known for their work in helping  street children for the past 30 years, Salaam Baalak trust has been instrumental in providing basic facilities to the children who live on the harsh streets of Delhi/NCR or who find themselves abandoned there. With a plethora of such fundraisers, the organisation has been able to help these marginalised kids realise their dream of a better life and a hope for a secure future. This event is one more such endeavor to further this cause and bring joy to those who often find themselves lost in this vast city of mankind.

Bharatnatyam has been revered as a performance art that enraptured the audience with its musical storytelling. Adding to the graceful movements of Aditi Jaitly Jadeja will be Sudha Raghuraman – a solo Carnatic Vocalist, G.Raghuraman, Flautist – an ‘A’ Graded artist of All India Radio and  M V Chandershekar, PERCUSSIONIST – ranked amongst the finest percussionists of his generation.

The evening will highlight the coming together of diverse instruments.

Critically acclaimed for her craft, Aditi began studying Bharatanatyam at the age of seven under Leela Samson, and performed her arangetram in 1989. From 1990 onwards she began travelling for performances across India and abroad. In 1996 Aditi spent a year in the UK, working with the Shobana Jeya Singh Dance Company. During her stint there, she was exposed to different dance and martial art styles such as ballet, western contemporary dance, kalaripayattu, mayurbhanjchau and tai chi. Aditi toured extensively with the company, both in the UK and abroad and has been part of her guru’s dance company, the Spanda Dance Company, since its inception in 1995. Having performed all over India, the United States , Singapore, and the Far East she is now a managing Trustee of the Spanda Trust and has also been teaching dance for several years.

Since it’s  inception, Salaam Baalak Trust has been a constant source of helping underprivileged children realize their rights and feel safe in this world. The trust has toiled tirelessly and garnered immense goodwill allowing it to support over 90,000 children in need. Today the trust has 12 contact points, 7 shelter homes. 12000 of these children go to regular schools and 18000 have been reunited with their families. Many of these children are rescued by the Child line (a dedicated help line manned 24×7) staff upon getting a phone call or after surveys done in child labor intensive areas with the help of the police.

“With this event we hope to help generate awareness and funds to continue our work with children. As they say, ‘it takes a big heart to shape a little mind’. We call on the many big hearts in our world to join us on our onward journey…. says Tanya  Alag – Head Resource Mobilization Culture and compassion, this fundraiser is the coming together of the best of both worlds!
