Post Screening Q&A with director Ronny Sen Synopsis: On a rainy night in Calcutta a group of desperate addicts chase brown sugar, but the permanent intoxication they seek proves elusive. 'Cat Sticks' weaves their stories into a chiaroscuro, traverses with them through states high and low, spaces real and unreal. A relentless downpour plays backdrop to lives balanced on the precarious heights of addiction. Some of them seek a release, while others do not seem to want the night to end. <IMG SRC="https://cdn.evbuc.com/eventlogos/67925777/catsticksdirs.jpg"> Director: Ronny Sen (b. 1986, Silchar) is a film director, writer and photographer based in Calcutta.
