Films featuring work of Sound Editor/ Recorder Asheesh Pandya The Boot Cake
Director- Dr. Katheryn Millard Duration- 75 Min

Award winning film maker Kathryn Millard is a self-confessed Charlie tragic. Five years ago a chance remark about a Chaplin impersonator working in Japan in 1917 set her on a quest to understand the curiously widespread appeal of this silent film star, with his baggy pants, tight waistcoat and twirling bamboo cane. She found his ghosts and reincarnations in sophisticated cities, back street slums and theatres in countries as widely disparate as Mexico, Brazil, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Australia and India.

I Am
Director- Sonali Gulati Duration- 80 Min

I Am chronicles the journey of an Indian lesbian filmmaker who returns to Delhi, eleven
years later, to re-open what was once home, and finally confronts the loss of her mother whom she never came out to. As she meets and speaks to parents of other gay and lesbian Indians, she pieces together the fabric of what family truly means, in a landscape where being gay was until recently a criminal and punishable offense.

Tales from the Margins

Director- Kavita Joshi Duration- 23 min

Manipur is a state in Indias North-East region, riven for decades by insurgency and violence. The Indian government has attempted to crush the insurgency through its military might; shielded by by undemocratic laws. Yet, little is heard about Manipur and its troubles across the nations landscape. This is a place that mainland India has marginalised; that the world has forgotten. Tales from the Margins travels to this remote, strife-torn corner of India to document the extraordinary protests of Manipuri women for justice. And through their lives, to focus on a vast human tragedy. 5.00PM 7.30 PM BOM- A day ahead of democracy
Director- Amlan Datta Duration- 117 min

Malana, a remote village in the Himalayas isolated for thousands of years, has been fostering a unique model of democracy of consensus. They have also been producing some of the best quality hashish. A real life story of transition; an ancient civilization being invaded and obliterated by the modern democracy. Narrated in an epic structure, a visual essay from the edge of the world with an universal message of trust, peace and eternal unity. 7.30PM 9.00 PM INKLAB
Director- Dr. Gaurav Chhabra

Duration- 60 min The film explores how the power of ideas and thoughts of a common man can shape up the destiny of the whole nation and how we still need to move further from here, keeping us free from any stagnant political ideologies and rather focusing on an inner rebellion, so as to initiate a change from within.
