You can travel back to the 1980s this weekend, as Booker Prize-winning author Arundhati Roy’s film In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones (1989) will arrive in theatres after 37 years. The movie, fronted and written by Roy, was restored by Shivendra Singh Dungarpur via Film Heritage Foundation and had its world première at the 2026 Berlin International Film Festival. Proud to have taken the classic to the prestigious film festival, Dungarpur said, “When the film was [restored and] ready, we thought of Berlin because it was almost the end of 2025.”  
  
Even as the film’s director Pradip Krishen and Dungarpur attended the première, Roy was conspicuously absent. She withdrew from the gala after the festival jury president, director Wim Wenders, said that filmmakers should stay out of politics when asked about the conflict in Gaza.
