Likkhe Jo Khat Tumhe

As a part of the post-retirement plan, Sulochna and Pradeep have decided to go minimalist. Along with all other things they have decided to let go of are the letters they wrote to each other. For Sulochna, these letters have been her only connection with Pradeep while he was at his postings. The letters bring back past memories which in turn make Sulochna realize that in taking care of the household and kids singlehandedly, she has long ignored her own needs. Will Sulochna be able to identify and fulfill them and how?

Meghdoot - The Cloud Messenger

Uniforms, morning roll call, order, and discipline determine life at a prestigious boarding school somewhere in the Himalaya’s misty foothills. 16-year-old Jaivardhana isn’t thriving in this authoritarian environment. An opportunity for temporary respite from this strict regime presents itself, when a former teacher visits the school and offers interested students a photography workshop. During Mr Sapru’s inspiring lessons, the young people don’t learn about depth of field or shutter speed, but they do learn to open their senses and experience the world around them.

Lookalikes are as much part of Indian popular cinema’s romance with stardom as the super celebrities they – sometimes more and sometimes less – resemble. The Juniors, as they’re popularly referred to, live a paradoxical existence all of their own: if one meets Kishore Bhanushali on the streets, it's like time is out of joint, for he looks like Golden Age-icon Dev Anand – in the 1960s! It’s fitting that Bhanushali is also a stand-up comedian, as the Juniors are in equal parts paeans to and parodies of the original stars. The Juniors even have their own films, which are often satirical revisions of beloved classics.

A Boy Who Cannot See The Beauty

This vivid experimental film, brimming with influences from filmmakers ranging from Terrence Malick to Andrei Tarkovsky, wittily explores ideas of what is beautiful from the point of view of neurodivergent Indian filmmaker Saurav Yadav. A joyful, imaginative journey that plays with the idea that if you cannot see beauty, perhaps everything becomes beautiful. At moments it feels like an Indian Wes Anderson movie with its bright colours and witty asides that will delight audiences.

Moksh - The Quest for Salvation

A contemporary dance film titled Moksh (meaning Salvation in the ancient Indian language, Sanskrit). Our spiritual world, in any culture across this planet, is shaped by belief systems passed down to us since antiquity, and we blindly adhere, hoping that in the end we find the answers to all our existential questions, and attain liberation - MOKSH. What is this end? Is there .. Moksh? In this dance film I explore these questions through the journey of an Ascetic, a staunch devotee of Lord Shiva, who is caught in a battle between his beliefs & the unknown.

A South Asian Queer Pamphlet

Every visitor to this interactive web installation will take home their own queer pamphlet, based on the word they have spelled with a queer alphabet—from the A in Appearance, through Fluid, Intersectionality and other key concepts, to the Z in Theorize. Because each letter is linked to a short film showing the non-binary Indian performance artist Kaur Chimuk, the word automatically creates its own edit. With subversive queerness, these cinematically extremely varied performances, that are as vulnerable as they are powerful, enter historically and socially significant terrain, such as the 16th-century Jamali Kamali tomb of the gay poet and his lover, a dilapidated Portuguese church in Goa, or the famous steps on the banks of the Ganges in Varanasi. But equally, the artist places themself naked in an empty factory or dyeing their feet on a busy street corner. Together these images create a view of a non-binary future from a postcolonial, South Asian perspective.
