<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; mso-bidi-language: TA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">In Southern India, family disputes are settled by Jamaats—all
male bodies which apply Islamic Sharia law to cases without allowing women to
be present, even to defend themselves. Recognizing this fundamental inequity, a
group of women in 2004 established a women’s Jamaat, which soon became a
network of 12,000 members spread over 12 districts. Despite enormous
resistance, they have been able to settle more than 8,000 cases to date,
ranging from divorce to wife beating to brutal murders and more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">In the north eastern state of Sikkim, women do not
comprehend gender disparity. And that's because it is not as rampant as it is
in the rest of India. At the face of racial discrimination, sexual and physical
abuses from the rest of India, north eastern women have stood out in teaching a
lesson or two to the world, in compassion, education, career choices and
intellectual freedom. Here's Anju Chetri, a traffic constable, who holds
together the city's peak traffic at the stroke of her hand and a stern whistle
of command. Go ahead and take left, leaning left is always good.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; mso-bidi-language: TA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">‘The Catalyst’ is a story traversing moral dilemmas
that create incongruence between good and bad. Though cinema has showcased
films with the undercurrent of moral dilemma time and again, it is fascinating
how the topic is still just as relevant today. This film tackles the perennial
and perturbing financial inadequacy that blights the people at the bottom of
the pyramid. A man’s attempt to find a bit of black or white in this
interminably greying society! In short, this is a tale that concerns all of us
– it just depends which side we see it from.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">While making a film about the
impacts of open net pen fish farms on wild pacific salmon, film maker Scott Renyard
discovers the impacts are much broader and include many, if not all, fin fish.
Crashes of fish populations in the North Pacific and Atlantic oceans in the mid
to late 1980's have resulted in trophic cascades that have impaired the
biological pumps in the oceans. This, in turn, makes open net pen fish farming
a very important part of the climate change puzzle and perhaps a major cause of
ocean acidification and the release of carbon dioxide from the oceans into the
atmosphere.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of India. In the 1940s, J. F. Laldailova, an officer in the British army,
introduced the people of Mizoram to Shakespeare, translating his works into the

rural India to meet the unending needs of the urban population – as
drinking water, but also, for other indiscriminate uses. Inevitably, rural
India, and the very poor, have had to face the brunt of the water
shortage. As the water table plummets, tube wells and hand pumps have
gone dry. Deprived of water more and more of the rural poor are now forced
to migrate – in search of work, but also, simply in search of water. <i>Village
of Dust, City of Water </i> uses a cine-poem as its style, to look at
the social dimensions of this water crisis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

space that is frequented by the so-called ‘no-gooders’ of the locality, a place
where they play cricket, play cards, drink and smoke up. When she enters the
space with her camera, the boys are curious and at the same time wary of it and
her. They sometimes resist, sometimes protest, and at times, open up. As the
film unfolds we get a hint of the lives the boys lead and the fragile world

shepherd boy want to run their way out of poverty. Their hope is to be able to
join highly paid marathons in Europe with the help of a German athletics
manager. A journey into presumed luck unexpectedly leads to the limits of human
capacity. How much can hope make you endure pain in the fight against your own
body? A thickly woven network of dependencies emerges, in which there is no
decision free of consequences for another.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

state of Orissa was born in 1936 as a result of the social reform movement
initiated by Madhusoodhan Das, who was called `The Father of Orissa’.
Madhusudhan Das was a prominent social reformist who converted himself into
Christianity. Kandhamal District in Orissa is mainly inhabited by Adivasis and
Dalits and among them a large population are Christians. The hate campaign
against the Christians in Kandhamal started in late 1960s and sustained for
several decades culminating in major violence on the minorities in 1980s,90s
and 2000s. </span></span><br />

Gujjars are nomadic pastoralists who follow an annual migratory cycle between
the foothills of Uttaranchal and the hight altitude pastures in the Himalayas.
Their nomadic existence is based on the logic that both, the forests in the
foothills and the alpine pastures get time to regenerate due to their
transhumance. That there is an inherent link between their lifestyle and
conservation of natural resources because their livelihoods are entirely
dependent upon the forests. 'Following the Rhythms' exlores the emotional
and functional connect the Van Gujjars have with the forests, their knowledge
and wisdom that has sustained their existence over years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

wares as variegated as their own life stories. From foodstuffs and necklaces,
to pills and potions. The list is endless, the items cheaply priced, often
useless. The work is hard, the buses overcrowded, the days long and relentless.
The sellers know that it is not the product that sells but their performance.
And so the aisle of the bus transforms into a stage where sellers are the
players. Nurtured by fantasies of Bollywood, these actors, briefly hold the

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background: white;">Karinthalakoottam is an
indigenous band that propagates the music of soul to connect people with a
sense of historic resolution. 18 feet symbolizes the holy distance dalits, the
downtrodden, were to ensure for the sanctity of upper castes. P R Remesh, a city
public-bus conductor, is the man behind the exuberant squad that drums empathy
for all in denial of historic untouchability attached to the disused community.
The troop is the vanguard in redefining the identity of people who are battered
by senseless incorrectness through centuries. The downtown Kerala band
rekindles the sense of sanity for all with a massage of love and harmony.</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="background: white;">The film looks into an alleged
encounter of a 15 year old adivasi girl, Meena Khalkho who lived in Village
Karcha of Balrampur district of North Chhattisharh. She was killed by the
police who alleged that she was a naxalite. Moving between the electronic news
coverage of the incident and testimonies of her parents and other people from
her village, the film investigates the claims of the police. Sexual violence,
the attempt to suppress the truth of meena’s murder and the impunity of the
culprits gradually comes to light. We also get a glimpse into how difficult and
long the struggle for justice is in the conflict zones of the country. This
film is part of a series of films called Loktantra Hazir Ho produced by the
Women Against Sexual Violence and State Repression (WSS).</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

converted Christian. Kandhamal District in Orissa is mainly inhabited
by Adivasis and Dalits and among them a large population are
Christians. The hate campaign against the Christians
in Kandhamal started in late 1960s and sustained for several decades
culminating in violence on the minorities in 1980s, 90s and
2000s. </span></span><br />

improper justice delivery
systems. The documentary film `Voice from the Ruins – Kandhamal in

through their own voices as well concerned sections,

violence on various sections of the communities
and the struggle for justice by the survivors

Moving between the electronic news coverage of the incident and testimonies of her parents and other people from her village, the film investigates the claims of the police. Sexual violence, the attempt to suppress the truth of meena’s murder and the impunity of the culprits gradually comes to light. We also get a glimpse into how difficult and long the struggle for justice is in the conflict zones of the country.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";">Do you know how to turn ordinary water into a billion-dollar business? In Switzerland there’s a company which has developed the art to perfection – Nestle. This company dominates the global business in bottled water. Swiss journalist Res Gehringer has investigated this money-making phenomenon. Nestle refused to cooperate, on the pretext that it was “the wrong film at the wrong time”. So Gehringer went on a journey of exploration, researching the story in the USA, Nigeria and Pakistan. His journey into the world of bottled water reveals the schemes and strategies of the most powerful food and Beverage Company on our planet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 150%;">With a career spanning
over two decades, <b>Sanjay Barnela</b> is one of the few filmmakers
in India, working in the niche area of conservation & livelihoods. An early
and enduring passion for mountain climbing and trekking in the Himalayas lead
Sanjay quite naturally to his choice of subject matter as a documentary
filmmaker – the political interface between the environment and local
communities, wildlife-human conflicts, conservation and livelihoods, customary
rights of rural communities, practices of pastoral communities, and the
political economy of water among others. With diversity – both cultural and
environmental- remaining a core theme, Sanjay has expanded his cinematic
subjects to include women leaders and women musicians across the Indian
landscape. He is currently working on a film on conflict induced internal
displacement. Yet, his passion for the environment endures and he is also currently
working on an ambitious series of films on the Forest Rights Act.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 150%;">Sanjay began his career
in Delhi, founding <b>Moving Images</b>, a team of documentary filmmakers
and academics, who have partnered to make a range of award winning documentary
films over the last twenty years. In 2012, Sanjay joined the <b>Srishti
Institute of Art, Design & Technology</b> in Bangalore where he
heads <b>Srishti Films,</b> a center dedicated to teaching
professional non-fiction film making. The core spirit of Srishti Films is to
mentor and guide a young generation of filmmakers, transferring to them not
just technical skills of filmmaking, but the passion and sensitivity of working
hands on, independently, with real human subjects in diverse locations. In a
short span of three remarkable years since Srishti Films came into existence,
its students have been applauded through several National Student Film Awards.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

of Somabhai Patel of Memna village in Gujarat who owns 14 borewells on his
agricultural land, <i>“The water used to be at 100 feet below the ground
just a few years ago, now it has gone down to 500 feet”.</i> The Municipal
Commissioner of Mumbai reveals startling facts to highlight the misuse of water
by the urban elite, <i>“Mumbai has 15 lakh cars (in 2003) each using 15
litres of water per day for washing – a total of 2.25 crore litres of potable
water used only on cars everyday”</i>. Quotes that reinforce the fact that the
present water crisis is largely a crisis of our own making. <i>Hunting

foothills of Uttaranchal and the hight altitude pastures in the Himalayas.
Their nomadic existence is based on the logic that both, the forests in the
foothills and the alpine pastures get time to regenerate due to their
transhumance. That there is an inherent link between their lifestyle and
conservation of natural resources because their livelihoods are entirely
dependent upon the forests. 'Following the Rhythms' exlores the emotional
and functional connect the Van Gujjars have with the forests, their knowledge
and wisdom that has sustained their existence over years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">Water is diverted from rural India
to meet the unending needs of the urban population – as drinking water,
but also, for other indiscriminate uses. Inevitably, rural India, and the
very poor, have had to face the brunt of the water shortage. As the
water table plummets, tube wells and hand pumps have gone dry. Deprived of
water more and more of the rural poor are now forced to migrate – in search
of work, but also, simply in search of water. <i>Village of Dust,
City of Water </i> uses a cine-poem as its style, to look at the
social dimensions of this water crisis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

close to the unpredictability of life as well as continuities that belie any

Sukhdev Singh Sandhu died in 1979 at the age of 46, he was already one of India’s
most celebrated documentary filmmaker, known the world over, adored by his fans
and a source of inspiration to those who worked with him. His young daughter,
however, saw him as a harsh, mostly absent father who had nothing much to do
with her life. 30 years later, using personal memories, archival audio
recording, old photographs and clips from his films, Shabnam Sukhdev, now a
filmmaker herself, endeavours to construct a true picture of her father.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif";"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; mso-bidi-language: TA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">In Southern India, family disputes are settled by Jamaats—all
male bodies which apply Islamic Sharia law to cases without allowing women to
be present, even to defend themselves. Recognizing this fundamental inequity, a
group of women in 2004 established a women’s Jamaat, which soon became a
network of 12,000 members spread over 12 districts. Despite enormous
resistance, they have been able to settle more than 8,000 cases to date,
ranging from divorce to wife beating to brutal murders and more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; mso-bidi-language: TA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN;">Award-winning filmmaker Deepa Dhanraj (SOMETHING LIKE A
WAR) follows several cases, shining a light on how the women’s Jamaat has
acquired power through both communal education and the leaders’ persistent,
tenacious and compassionate investigation of the crimes. In astonishing scenes
we watch the Jamaat meetings, where women often shout over each other about the
most difficult facets of their personal lives. Above all, the women’s Jamaat
exists to hold their male counterparts and local police to account, and to
reform a profoundly corrupt system which allows men to take refuge in the most
extreme interpretation of the Qur’an to justify violence towards women.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

But when they<br />

</i><br />
Using a personally reflective tone and playfully eclectic form, mixing
non-fiction and fiction and animation and faux advertisements, this landmark
documentary follows Fearless' conversations: about why women must always lead
double lives, being feminist but not saying they are. How do we remain
politically engaged as individuals who will not join groups? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If feminism changes the way we
live, then do we change the meaning of feminism as we live it? And then how do
we separate true feminists from false ones? Will X-ray vision work better, or
female intuition – or is there a common set of principles in this multiply
interpreted philosophy? How do we make sense of love and anger, doubt and
confusion, the personal and the political, in this enterprise of pushing the
boundaries, of being un-limited - the enterprise we call feminism.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Shooting a documentary had become easy by the year 2000. 16mm and Betacam were being replaced by the easy-to-use mini DV format. The small camera was perfect for shooting in the narrow bylanes and shanties of the Jari Mari slum. However, editing had become more complicated. We had given up linear tape-to-tape systems and started working with software on a computer. Disk space was at a premium and processor speeds were slow. Although, by today’s standards, there was not much footage (around 30 hours), it was not possible to load everything at once on the system. Surabhi transferred from DV to VHS tapes and spent many days looking through the footage at home, logging, transcribing and making notes about which parts of which tape were usable. But that was just the first pass. We would transfer the portions she had marked to the computer and begin working, then go back to the VHS to look for more shots. As we edited each sequence, we would delete the shots we hadn’t used and then capture the next lot. And then re-edit, re-capture, rethink until the film slowly started to emerge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We spent as much time thinking, arguing, writing notes and preparing structures on paper as we did actually working on the editing machine itself. Of course, as usual with most documentaries, there was only the rough idea of a script to begin with. Surabhi wanted to tell the story of Bombay’s labour force that was once organized as mill workers but had now been forced into the informal sector, working in tiny slum rooms and sweatshops. She wanted to narrate this through the life stories of four women characters who lived in the slum colony of Jari Mari. The fact that Jari Mari is situated next to the international airport offered a readymade reference to the “globalized” world outside that consumed the products made by these workers, but at the same time, snatched away their right to a dignified livelihood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Shaping a feature length narrative needs patience and focus. For me, every project leads to new lessons learnt; and ‘Jari Mari’ is where a lot of my learning began. I think the film has not dated yet, in its form or content. Perhaps we could have used a smaller subtitle font…<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Paromita Vohra and I go back a long way, to the very beginning. She was there when I decided to become a film editor, before I went to FTII. To work with a director who is a friend and shares your view of the world, of politics and art, is the best situation any editor can be in. To top that, ‘Unlimited Girls’ was a dream project – a documentary on the Indian feminist movement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In terms of its form, this film attempted something new for Indian documentary at the time. It was conceived as part fiction. At the heart of the film are a number of interviews and encounters with people, places and events in the real world; but the documentary narrative is driven by a fictional character named ‘Fearless’. Her face is never seen, but the viewer inhabits her “room with a view” and travels with her as she roams the country trying to understand feminism in all its complexities. There is also a feminist internet chatroom, commercial breaks, animation sequences and text on the screen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In this film, as in my other work with Paromita, I feel that we have been able to successfully combine her amazing creativity and flair with my overriding urge to bring clarity and order to the film narrative. She is an accomplished writer, so naturally, we had a script. However, it began to change from the first day. The first interview we began editing was with Veena Mazumdar, grand dame of the Indian women’s movement – and we realized quickly that there was no point in trying to fit her into our pre-decided plan. She had totally unexpected responses to many of the questions put to her, and we had to modify our script to accommodate her unique personality. We loved her and every other person in the film. Each interview was rich with new meanings and each person had to be treated with the respect they deserved.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">With a small budget, we had to execute most of the visual effects on the editing machine, or at least arrive at a very solid reference before we involved any specialists. Constructing the film involved going back and forth between shooting and editing. Much of the commentary and chatroom sequences had to be written after shaping the documentary scenes and structuring the larger narrative – and then those were sometimes re-edited, keeping in mind what Fearless was doing on screen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘Invoking Justice’ is one of my most recent projects with the stalwart filmmaker Deepa Dhanraj, who is well known for her documentaries about women’s lives and issues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I will never forget the day that Deepa first called to offer me an editing job, back in the year 2000. I felt like I was talking to a film star. I had seen her documentary ‘Something Like A War’ as a college student, and she had been my idol ever since. Getting a chance to work with her was like arriving in the big league. Over the years, I feel I’ve done some of my best, most satisfying work with her and learnt about a whole new world. I’ve also had the special privilege of working with Navroze Contractor, master cinematographer who shoots all of her films. His deep understanding of documentary image making, his rich experience and artist’s eye set his work apart, and lend an extra edge to mine as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">‘Invoking Justice’ was a new kind of film for Deepa. It was completely action oriented. Shooting was physically demanding and impossible to control, since it involved following the Tamil Nadu Muslim Women’s Jamaat cases as they unfolded in real time. Editing presented a peculiar problem. It is easy to cut action sequences, since they always have clear beginnings, middles and ends. But action without meaning is boring. How to link all those scenes together to tell the story of the Jamaat? There was never any question of a shooting script, since there was no way to know in advance what would happen once the camera rolled. So, we had to write the film entirely on the editing table. Plus, the incredible members of the Jamaat deserved space of their own, so that the viewer could get to know them and relate to the work they do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Complicating matters further was the fact that this film was to be broadcast by two international TV stations, one in Japan and the other in the USA. Both had to approve of the film and we had to meet each one’s requirements. We had to make a documentary that held up to the Indian audience’s scrutiny and to our own exacting standards, yet made sense to foreigners from a different culture. The Japanese were happy with a 90 film that had no voiceover; while the Americans needed 52 minutes and many things explained. Two versions were made, but we hit upon a good way to satisfy everyone including ourselves. We decided to replicate Deepa’s experience during the shoot, where she had spent a lot of time waiting for events to unfold and had kept herself updated through phone calls. These calls were recreated from her notes, using real voices, hers and the characters’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Invoking Justice won me my first and only award so far, at the Mumbai International Film Festival for Documentary and Short Films. That brought me full circle. MIFF is the country’s oldest documentary festival and it was here that I had first seen Deepa’s work, all those years ago.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Every successful documentary editor has to be a script writer too, whether she likes it or not. Working on ‘Till We Meet Again’ was a liberating experience because for almost the first time, the director did not particularly need my scripting skills. Rahul Roy welcomed my inputs, but every time I sat down at the computer, he presented me with detailed notes about the film’s structure that he had worked out already. This left me free to concentrate on crafting the film, thinking about images, soundtrack and pacing – how to simply make scenes look good. I could take his scripting ideas and find ways to translate them effectively in cinematic terms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This film was a sequel to a documentary that Rahul had made 12 years ago. ‘When Four Friends Meet’ was a film with four young men barely out of their teens who lived in the slum colony of Jahangirpuri on the outskirts of Delhi. It had explored their attitudes to gender and masculinity in the context of their life experiences. Rahul had become very good friends with all four of them over the years. Bunty, Kamal, Sanju and Sanjay were now married with children and responsibilities. Everything had changed almost beyond recognition – their lives and aspirations, their neighbourhood and the city of Delhi itself. For his new film, Rahul revisited their lives to explore afresh their ideas about men, women and masculinity. This time, he not only filmed them himself but also given them cameras of their own, so that they could shoot whatever they wished – including their encounters with Rahul.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The immediate problem with making a sequel to a documentary film is that very few people have seen the first part. Unlike, say, ‘Star Wars’, one cannot depend on the audience to already know the context in which the new story is being told. So, we had to find a way to refer to the older film and use extracts from it within the new narrative; without actually replicating things. Technically, the older footage was identical to the new footage since Rahul had used the same camera and even had the same crew – himself as director/cinematographer and Asheesh Pandya as sound designer. The first challenge was to find an elegant way to visually set the older footage apart from the new shooting. I decided to apply a video filter that made the older shots look like they were playing on a worn-out VHS tape, and I desaturated the image slightly to set it apart even more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Working with images shot by Rahul in the past and the present alongside the images shot by the four men in the film was exciting. Transitioning between these different kinds of images meant constantly shifting the point of view and adding multiple layers of meaning to each scene. The way that I was able to explore my craft as an editor in this film is one of the reasons that it is special to me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Rahul did take many of my scripting suggestions along the way, but I could not make him agree to one more. When we finished, I was not quite satisfied with the way the film ended. I went through the rushes and found one extra scene. In it, the four characters challenge the filmmaker and ask him, “Your film makes you famous, but what happens to us?” Rahul loved the scene I built, but he insisted on using it at the start of the film instead of putting it at the end like I wanted. Was he right, or was I?<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In my opinion, S. Sukhdev’s ‘India 67’ is one of the best documentaries ever made in the world. I watched it for the first time as a student in my first year at the FTII and it is a film I can still watch over and over again with undiminished admiration. To participate in the making of a documentary that pays homage to Sukhdev was a privilege.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In my first year at film school, I didn’t know that my friend and classmate Shabnam was Sukhdev’s daughter; much less about her turbulent relationship with him. Shabnam and I worked together on our diploma film, became close friends and graduated from FTII together, but she never mentioned her father much. Years later, when she was ready to come to terms with everything that her father had meant to her and wanted to make a film about him, she needed to work with someone whom she could trust with her emotions as much as with her precious film footage. I was fortunate to be that person.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The biggest technical challenge with ‘The Last Adieu’ was that it had to be made out of a variety of image formats. Mini DV (30fps NTSC and 25fps Pal), HDcam, prosumer HD, Betacam, internet downloads and piles of scanned still images collected over many years had to be put together with archival audio recordings and films made by Sukhdev himself. Live shooting and interviews were mixed with dramatic recreations. There were a variety of voices and soundtracks. But the film was not about technicalities. All this assorted footage had to be tamed and structured to tell Shabnam’s story, her mother’s story and the story of Sukhdev’s film career. We wanted to pay homage to him while simultaneously exploring Shabnam’s complicated love-hate relationship with him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The script evolved with multiple layers. Shabnam wanted to have a series of imaginary conversations with her father, to tell him many things she had never been able to say while he was alive, and to imagine what he would say to her in reply. To bind these conversations seamlessly with the rest of the film, I suggested that we use her personal voice from the beginning instead of a regular commentary. Alongside, I wrote a completely objective series of text cards that spoke in the third person and analysed Sukhdev’s work. These were placed side by side with clips from his films. The narrative had to weave between the intensely personal space of memory and the formal space of a biopic tracing the career of a great man. As often happens, we had to go back and forth between editing scenes and writing the commentary, making each element fit the other. I consider this film to be one of my most difficult scripting efforts and while nothing is ever flawless, I am very happy with how it turned out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

country who performed in the 70s and 80s in Calcutta, Raipur and Cuttak with
masters of theatre like Habib Tanvir. He arrived in Mumbai with big dreams,
only to find that the city of dreams is disillusioned with his art form. He
realized that Mime is not recognized, not talked about, not dreamt for, and
certainly not a means to earn his daily bread in this city of opportunities.
Consequently, he worked in tea stalls, earned a few pennies doing construction
labor, slept on roads, struggled barefoot; as the artist in him fell apart each
day, like plaster wears off an old, unkempt house. Today, he lives with his
wife in a small 50 square feet apartment in Malvani. A paralytic attack in 2014
has compromised his movements, but he still dreams of the stage, for that is
where he belongs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman", serif;">‘The Catalyst’ is a story traversing moral dilemmas
that create incongruence between good and bad. Though cinema has showcased
films with the undercurrent of moral dilemma time and again, it is fascinating
how the topic is still just as relevant today. This film tackles the perennial
and perturbing financial inadequacy that blights the people at the bottom of
the pyramid. A man’s attempt to find a bit of black or white in this
interminably greying society! In short, this is a tale that concerns all of us
– it just depends which side we see it from.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 18px;">Animated clay paintings tell the true story of the last house on a sinking island in the Chesapeake Bay. In an Old-Time Music ballad, the house sings of its life and the creatures it has sheltered during its journey from tree, to timber, to home, to its ultimate return to nature. It contemplates time, environmental change, and the rise of the seas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Being self-taught, he started the project almost just for fun about a fact which happened in Scano Boa, a thin, 5 kilometers long, sandy island full of mediterranean flora, the last one to separate the Po river delta from the Adriatic sea. 60 years later, Lamberto Morelli is the sole survivor of that crew.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 18px;">Do you know how to turn ordinary water into a billion-dollar business? In Switzerland there’s a company which has developed the art to perfection – Nestle. This company dominates the global business in bottled water. Swiss journalist Res Gehringer has investigated this money-making phenomenon. Nestle refused to cooperate, on the pretext that it was “the wrong film at the wrong time”. So Gehringer went on a journey of exploration, researching the story in the USA, Nigeria and Pakistan. His journey into the world of bottled water reveals the schemes and strategies of the most powerful food and Beverage Company on our planet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 18px;">In the face of an increasingly hostile and unpredictable climate, AGHBALOU - The Source of Water combines a local story of struggle and neglect with a global call to action against the growing challenges of sustaining water and fighting poverty.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 18px;">The oases of the Todgha Valley in Southern Morocco have successfully sustained livelihoods and agriculture for centuries through an ancient and elaborate system of underground channels, but today new threats and challenges are facing these age-old communities. The film aims to tell the story of people and their individual aspirations for a better future amid the swirl of challenges facing the area: population growth, groundwater over-extraction, emigration, climate change and unequal development, among others. The film explores irrigation practices in the Todgha Valley, a river oasis on the southern slopes of the High Atlas Mountains, revealing how agricultural developments can be both an opportunity and a possible threat to the rural poor. It looks at the future of agriculture in the region and presents potential strategies to adapt to growing water scarcity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 18px;">While making a film about the impacts of open net pen fish farms on wild pacific salmon, film maker Scott Renyard discovers the impacts are much broader and include many, if not all, fin fish. Crashes of fish populations in the North Pacific and Atlantic oceans in the mid to late 1980's have resulted in trophic cascades that have impaired the biological pumps in the oceans. This, in turn, makes open net pen fish farming a very important part of the climate change puzzle and perhaps a major cause of ocean acidification and the release of carbon dioxide from the oceans into the atmosphere.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Sellers crowd India's inter-state bus terminals, selling wares as variegated as their own life stories. From foodstuffs and necklaces, to pills and potions. The list is endless, the items cheaply priced, often useless. The work is hard, the buses overcrowded, the days long and relentless. The sellers know that it is not the product that sells but their performance. And so the aisle of the bus transforms into a stage where sellers are the players. Nurtured by fantasies of Bollywood, these actors, briefly hold the limelight and eke out a living.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">‘Diamonds in a Vegetable Market’ is a behind-the-scenes look at India's informal economy, through the characters of Afsar the entrepreneurial compounder who mixes and brews his balms, powders and digestive; Shakeel, the self-styled mystic who alternates between singing for a living and selling eye make-up; and Hashmat, the magician, who peddles a book he has written, demystifying the 'magic' that he weaves. The film spirals from frontstage to backstage…revealing the sharp schism that divides public front from the private self.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The Rat Race winds its way through the grimy underbelly of Mumbai, through dimly lit alleys and crowded markets to tell the story of the city’s rat killers. Home to 14 million people and 84 million rats competing for the same space and resources! The Rat Race is a moving true life account of the city's rat killers who set out every night armed with a torch and stick to bring back the carcasses of 30 rats.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">As the rat killer stalks the sidewalks of Mumbai above him looms chrome buildings that are the landscape of the future and below him are trails of garbage and refuse. To earn his daily wage and secure a brighter future for his children, he wages the most primitive battle between man and animal with the most basic of implements. Why such gruesome methods? Would not fumigation or poison be more humane? But how does one fumigate spaces swarming with rats and humanity? And how does one use poison where rodents and people forage for food?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Could a song be full of love, and yet banal and trifling? Such were the love songs written by a poet musician Kshetrayya, to be performed by the dancing courtesans at the royal courts of 17th century South India. His love songs, known as 'padams' became the most cherished of the devadasi's songs of love. Through the history these love songs, known as padams, the film 'O Friend, this Waiting!' constructs a possible social and cultural history of the devadasis. While visually the film dwells in the performative spaces of the 17th century temples and courts, the narrative explores the politics of modernism and marginalization that erased the devadasi from the collective public conscience. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Mizoram is a small state on the Northeastern border of India. In the 1940s, J. F. Laldailova, an officer in the British army, introduced the people of Mizoram to Shakespeare, translating his works into the Mizo language. The film shows bits of rehearsals and performances of Hamlet and a discussion by various actors of how Shakespeare’s works, and Hamlet in particular, relates to their own lives.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Bilal can see but his parents cannot. He is only three years old and hardly understands what blindness is. Bilal also has a little brother, Hamza. And inside a tiny dark and dank room together they live in a curious game of seeing and not seeing. Neighbors and relatives surround them. The film tells this unusual story by observing the little boy over a year by capturing rare moments of sharing love, fun, cruelty and hope… the wonder world of Bilal.</span></div>
