ABOUT ELSEWHERE   (30 min)

[ Theme : Conflict ]
[ Add Comment ]

About Elsewhere seeks to foreground the impossibility of fixing notions of sexuality through ideas of 'identity' and 'language'. As the film moves through the various worlds the filmmaker inhabits, it suggests a self in constant formation; one that constructs itself from parts and places that are in themselves, fragments of memory and experience.

APPLES AND ORANGES  (30 min)

[ Theme : Conflict ]
[ Add Comment ]

The film locates conflict, as a result of differing ideas and elaborates further on this idea by exploring the conflict in ideas of good cinema or films. The film is largely composed of material that happens along the filmmaker’s path in an everyday living - rarely veering off to find any specific locations or shots to fit a particular section.

ATHWAAS - THE JOURNEY  (30 min)
[ Filmmaker/s : ASHIMA KAUL BHATIA ]
[ Theme : Conflict ]
[ Add Comment ]

In 2001, a few Kashmiri women from diverse backgrounds and who had experienced the Kashmir conflict differently, came together to listen to each other. They named themselves Athwaas, a Kashmiri word meaning a handshake. The core group of Athwaas later traveled to different parts of the Kashmir Valley and camps of the displaced Kashmiri Pandit community in Jammu, listening to the stories of pain, suffering and resilience of women divided across multiple faultlines. The film traces the emotional and physical journey of each woman in Athwaas beginning from the personal narrative of the director when she first visited the Valley to the time Athwaas was formed.
