Last month at Khar’s 3 Art House, the conversation flowed from memories of holidaying in Switzerland, actor Jane Birkin’s influence on the famous Hermès Birkin bag, and cinema. The conversation-starter was the themed curation of a Swiss film and culinary festival. This weekend’s edition of the festival, a collaboration between Shamiana Shorts and 3 Art House, will introduce participants to the culture of Belgium where stirring up conversations seems to be key. We cannot imagine any other way to go through life than  by engaging with others to learn about the things we don’t know yet. Expanding on this thought, co-founder Banat Kaur Bagga shares, “We aim to create an experience where people view the film in the projector room and then, move to the next room for some food and conversation.”
