ABOUT THE FILMS:
Badalte Nakshe
follows Farhana Ashraf, a teacher and a writer, as it engages with certain
questions: 20 years later, how do those who were children at the time remember
the lived experience of the riots? And how do today’s young people make meaning
of these inherited narratives of violence from what they hear and see – through
popular culture, or text books? Erasures, omissions and ruptures come to light
as the film travels between past and present.
This film was earlier screened at Focus Asia:
Memory and Documentary Film – Exploring Painful and Forgotten Memories in
China, India, and Indonesia, Lund University, Sweden; Madurai International
Documentary and Short Film festival; Woodpecker International Film Festival, New
Delhi. All four directors have completed their MA in Media and Cultural
Studies at SCMS, TISS.
Ek Aakhri Panah
– During December 1992 and January 1993, Muslim communities living in the city
of Mumbai witnessed communal violence within their localities. As the violence
escalated, people moved or shifted to areas where they felt safer or had
family. This resulted in the expansion of areas like Mumbra and the creation of
ghettos across the city. This film looks at Mumbra and its history through the
eyes of two young Muslim women who work in the Rehnuma Library, a space where
young women meet to study, write, co-create and work on issues of women’s
empowerment. The film was earlier screened at Seamedu Film Festival, Pune (Best
non-fiction student film); Prakriti Film Festival, Calicut; VIBGYOR
International Film Festival, Thrissur, Kerala. All four directors graduated from
SMCS, TISS in May 2013.
