SARI MEN - a poignant short film about the men behind the fabric. While women wear it, men play a large part in the process of making and selling the sari. From the weavers to shop assistants, this is a film about the beauty of the sari flowing through the gender gaps. Shot across Lucknow, Delhi, Kolkata and Benaras; Sari Men is a homage to the dedication and precision of the craft.

Nabarun
Qaushiq Mukherjee
Nabarun Bhattacharya, Suman Mukhopadhyay
A documentary on the infamous Bengali magic realist, Nabarun is an exclamation mark in Bengali literature, the emphatic interjector. The film tries to get into the noisy, grimy, scratchy insides of Nabarun's mind as his characters shamelessly hustle, behave atrociously and try to exist in a violent hostile world.

In the glitz and the glamour of a Bollywood dominated industry that India has today, we narrate the story of a parallel film-making community whose aim is not to create cliched blockbusters, but to tell a meaningful and thought provoking story through the medium of cinema.

I Want To Be An American
Monteith McCollum, Maya Newell
In the spirit of the Surrealist parlor game of chance Exquisite Corpse, each filmmaker makes a documentary short film based on imagery forwarded on by the previous filmmaker in the chain. The composite story forms a global independent filmmaking experience.

Ghya Chang Fou
Joyraj Bhattacharya
Qaushiq Mukherjee, Kamalika Banerjee
Ghya-chang-fou literally means 'suddenly beheading' in Bengali. it features thirteen unnamed people gathering in a mansion filled with archaic objects to celebrate what appears to be a communist revolution. Nothing seems real, roads open up to improbable places, places lead to impossible elevators, elevators lift people to unconvincing roads. Bacchanalian spirit steadily overtakes the initial deadpan seriousness. The encore of celebration sounds delusionary as the drunken conversation about communism, about its methods and means, about it intricate turns through history degenerates to bourgeois nonsense and decadence leading to absurd rifts, comic conflicts, unleashed orgies and debauchery.
