FOUR WOMEN AND A ROOM
Ambarien Al Qadar 
A documentary that explores the complex ways in which women understand and experience motherhood. The key question it raises is, that, is motherhood always a ‘natural’ precondition towards the fulfillment of a woman’s subjectivity?

IT’S A BOY (IT’S GOING TO BE A BOY)
Vani Subramanian 
The film travels to Bombay, Delhi, Benares and Shillong, going back in time to reveal how the current crisis of sex ratios had been foretold by those on the forefront of the campaigns against sex determination and pre-selection. It assesses government initiatives, looks beyond the rhetoric, and uses the lens of culture to explore common beliefs about daughters and sons within the family and men and women in society.

TWO LIVES 
Samina Mishra 
Smriti and Rupa live an hour away from each other but the only thing their worlds seem to have in common is that they are both mothers. Smriti is a stay at home mom, living in a posh South Delhi colony and Rupa is a domestic worker living in a basti in Gurgaon. Both are pregnant and as they wait for their babies to be born, they reflect on what it means to be a mother. As new worlds open up for women and old roles persist, the film looks at how women enact motherhood in our times.

SHE’S MY GIRL 
Meera Dewan 
Haryana's alarmingly low sex ratio has brought them all together: a motley group of budding writers, singers, actors and organisers. They delve in community theatre or Jathas. Their many hundred journeys through the girl-unfriendly landscape of their state are made with a single purpose: motivating communities to value their daughters.
