A night of cinema, conversation, and community reflection on the theme of masculinity, as part of our monthly School of Activism screening series.

SamaBhav is a travelling film festival that brings together cinema, conversation, and community reflection. It grows from the decades-long work of Men Against Violence and Abuse (MAVA), Mumbai, and is hosted in collaboration with the South Asian Heritage Trust as part of South Asian Heritage Month 2025 theme of “Roots to Routes.” Each event in this series offers films, keynotes, and collective dialogue across cities and civic spaces in the UK.

SamaBhav creates a space to reflect on how masculinities are shaped by migration, caste, kinship, memory, and the challenges of accountability. It invites audiences to engage with the complexities of gender, queerness, care, and justice without expecting simple solutions.

SamaBhav encourages participants to ask: What do we inherit? What do we resist? What are we becoming together?

SamaBhav invites you to be part of a shared journey. This is an opportunity to build connections, reflect on difficult questions, and participate in conversations that can ripple into civic life, education, and community practice.
