About the Films:

THE MINIATURIST OF JUNAGADH 
(29:46 mins/ Hindi, Urdu with English subtitles/ 2021/ Fiction)
Dir.: Kaushal Oza
1947. The ravages of Partition have compelled an old artist, Husyn Naqqash, to sell his ancestral home
in Western India and move with his family to Karachi, Pakistan. When Kishorilal, a stoic and stone-hearted man, who has bought the house, comes to know that Husyn is a well-known miniature painter and has an invaluable and rare miniature collection, he schemes to get hold of the collection. But all is not what it seems and there is a secret about the collection that Husyn’s family is holding back. Not only from Kishorilal... but also from Husyn.


CHAMPARAN MUTTON
(24 mins/ Vajika & Hindi with English subtitles/ 2023/ Fiction)
Dir. Ranjan Kumar
A small story of a sweet family based in Bihar and their day to day struggles spun around a motive leading to cook and relish Champaran Mutton (a local Bihari delicacy). The film also explores caste politics and discrimination as an underlined theme.
