Want to watch a few off-beat films on current realities in India? Want a fresh perspective? Well, try the films premiered for ‘One Billion Eyes' Indian Documentary Film Festival at the Russian Cultural Centre between 16th and 19th of this month.
The idea behind this annual film ritual organized by the Prakriti Foundation is that, looking through a plethora of perspectives could perhaps bring out the true nature of issues we are grappling with. Curiously, ‘Festivals’ is the theme for this year’s edition of One Billion Eyes. The idea is that festivals are important and ingrained in the Indian psyche – be it the agrarian festivals like Pongal or the those pertaining to natural cycles, or those that are held for empowerment, like the Koovagam/Aravani festival
‘One billion eyes’ has made a name for promoting films that explore issues across the intellectual, political and cultural spectrum. This edition will give viewers the chance to watch films like Jahaji music, Mylapore theru. The killing field, City stories, The holy duels of hola Mohalla, Calcutta pride march, etc. Some of the film screenings will be followed by discussions.
A competitive event, Ms. Vasanthi Sankaranarayanan, Mr. Jayachandran and Mr. Azhar Tyabji form the festival jury and will award a prize of Rs. 25,000 for the best film. This festival is a must for all amateur film makers with a passion for making meaningful films. The film screening will be followed by discussions. Entry is free.
