Badalte Nakshe (Changing Maps)
24mins/ English, Hindi
Directors: Nithila Kanagasabai, Archana Sadar, Nitya Menon, Likokba Sangtam 

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 (One Last Refuge) 
15 mins/ Hindi
Directors: Tanvi Barge, Krishna Panchal, Piyush Garud, Juanita Mukhia

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 Tanvi Barge, Krishna Panchal, Piyush Garud and Juanita Mukhia graduated from SMCS, TISS in May 2013.

Screening followed by discussion 

Series Note :

The communal violence of December 1992 and January 1993 in Mumbai, India, following the demolition of the Babri Masjid on 6 December 1992, changed the city in many ways, reconfiguring its spaces, creating new divides, giving impetus to an on-going politics of hate and fundamentally altering the cosmopolitan fabric of the city. Twenty years later, the 1992 Memory Archive, created collectively by the students and faculty of the School of Media and Cultural Studies, TISS, seeks to remember and to understand how the citizens of Mumbai and the survivors of this horrific event have struggled over the years to live with its aftermath. It seeks in this way to problematise the question of social memory. The project was initiated as a part of the month-long city-wide campaign Bombay ki Kahani Mumbai ki Zubani (https;//bombaykikahani.wordpress.com) to mark the 20th year of the demolition of the Babri Masjid and the violence that followed.
