I've seen a collected print edition of the Pearl somewhere a few years back. I didn't know there was an online version, though. Thanks for this.

This magazine, in passing, is referenced in Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. In case you didn't already know.

Yes, quite a buffet, that. I rarely frequent the film festivals and screenings, though, truth be told. I keep a fairly large collection of films at home, and if I feel like watching something, I merely procure it from, er, my usual non-conventional sources.

the city's yummy in this respect.

suchitra along with Collective Chaos and the Bangalore Film Society (never been for any screenings by the last two but they exist and BFS has a blog it sporadically updates). Also charming is Max Mueller Bhavan's fortnightly film screening.Barring the time the entire audience seemed to be German literate and no one protested for no sub titles.I
