Event Details : Untold Stories from the Margins, a three-day festival of documentary films, curated by Kanishka Prasad.
Friday 20th : Series of Short Films by Surya Shankar Dash, 98 mins. The films ranging from 1 min to 33 mins deal with stories from a people’s struggle and a people’s own narration of it against corporations like Tata, Posco and Vedanta in Odisha.
Saturday 21st : Delhi Mumbai Delhi by Saba Dewan, 63 mins. Riya dances in the beer bars of Mumbai to make a living. The documentary follows her from her home in Delhi to Mumbai where hundreds of working class girls come in search of work and a future. Riya’s future is unpredictable and the present is marked with its own difficulties. The police harass her family in Delhi, there is constant pressure from her agent in Mumbai to attract more tips and the work itself is demanding. However, there are other girls to have fun with, there is money to dress well and then there are men… admirers promising the moon. The documentary is an intimate portrait of the everyday in the life of the girls, their agents and their neighbourhoods.
Sunday 22nd : Izzatnagar Ki Asabhya Betiyaan by Nakul Sawhney, 93 mins. The film looks at the narratives of five young Jat women who have dealt with the strictures of the Khap Panchayat and found ways to resist them.
