IT'S A BOY! (30 min)
[ Directors :
VANI SUBRAMANIAN ]
[ Category : Reproductive Rights & Health ]
[ Screening: 22 November, 2008]

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, men and women in society.
AUTUMN IN THE HIMALAYAS  (60 min)
[ Directors :
MALGORZATA SKIBA ]
[ Category : Religion/ Spirituality ]
[ Screening: 29 November, 2008]

The film brings to light the story of a group of elderly Buddhist nuns from Ladakh, who represent the last generation of unordained and uneducated women in robes. They have led quiet lives in isolated high mountains working as domestic helps and road construction labourers. Neglected by religious and social systems for centuries, the new Nyerma nunnery is their last call for dignity, enhancement and purification of their religious status.
