MSLF 2017 focuses on the theme “Lucknow ki Reha’ish” (Homes of Lucknow), exploring the stories, histories, and architecture of the city’s iconic homes. Using oral, visual, and experiential storytelling, the festival documents personal narratives through photographs, films, and interviews. Visitors can experience the theme via heritage walks, tours, exhibits, book launches, short film screenings, and a city-wide photography and sketching competition, celebrating Lucknow’s Ganga-Jamuni tehzeeb and rich cultural heritage.
