Delhi Teachers University, in collaboration with the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA), organised a special screening of the internationally acclaimed short film Selfie Please at IGNCA’s Samvet Auditorium, New Delhi. Written and directed by Anu Singh Chaudhary, the 15-minute film sensitively portrays the dynamics of a family where the elder daughter has Down Syndrome, leading the younger sibling to feel overlooked. The inaugural session was addressed by theatre expert Malavika Joshi and Delhi Teachers University Vice Chancellor Prof. Anu Singh Lather, both of whom highlighted the film’s emotional depth and its ability to inspire reflection on family and social relationships.

Following the screening, a panel discussion on “The Myth of a Normal Family” featured filmmaker Anu Singh Chaudhary, actress Sarika Singh, Malavika Joshi, and iCANthink founder Deepa Garwa, moderated by Dr. Sanjeev Rai. The session offered thought-provoking insights and engaged the audience in dialogue, reaffirming the power of art and cinema in shaping perspectives and bridging education with creative media.
