Event Description : Screening of Two Documentary Films based on Kashmir :
The Last Day (Hindi, Kashmiri with English subtitles/2013/12mins) 
Dir.Siddhartha Gigoo
 In the winter of 1990, fearing religious persecution due to the eruption of armed insurgency, about four hundred thousand Kashmiri Pandits were forced to flee their homes in Kashmir. Several thousand homeless families sought shelter in puny canvas tents set up in migrant camps in the Jammu province. They lived in wretched conditions for two decades, hoping to return to their homeland someday. In exile, many perished and those who survived have now been rehabilitated. The last camp was demolished in 2011. 
Followed by : 
23 Winters (Hindi, Kashmiri with English subtitles/2013/30mins) 
Dir.Rajesh S. Jala 
A film set in reality, played by a real protagonist, Bota, who lives a surreal life. A forced refugee from Kashmir, Bota is schizophrenic. The film glimpses through his traumatic past which haunts his exiled present. Nonetheless, his hopes are unvanquished. 

Both films were screened at the International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala 2013.
