Tramjatra details the unexpected and incredible relationship struck between Melbournian tram conductor Roberto D’Andrea and the CTC Trammie community of Kolkata, India.

A group of artists, activists, tramways workers and enthusiasts have departed Melbourne and Kolkata to be aboard a ‘tramjatra’ since 1996. Roberto D’Andrea, a retired Melbourne conductor - driver who is still connie-ing, is one of the central characters who has fallen in love with Kolkata, its people and tramways. The film takes a metaphoric journey and explores how new linkages can be made through a public arts practice and inter-cultural collaboration. The film celebrates 20 years of tramways friendship between Kolkata and Melbourne through a unique journey called ‘tramjatra’.
