I Just Want a Cup of Tea in Reading (with Dr Shweta Ghosh)

April 24, 2025 • The Museum of English Rural Life

What do documentary makers and museum have in common? How do we choose which stories to tell, and how to tell them?

Join Dr Shweta Ghosh, Lecturer in Screen Practices and Industries at the University of Reading, as we discuss storytelling, film-making, spices and tea, and rural connections between India and England.
