The Outside In
25m 03s | 2019 | English, Marathi with English Subtitles
Two dollmakers, working with simple, discarded materials, gently loosen our resistance to empathy. The film collaborates with them and their dolls, blurring the line between what lies outside us and within.
Kya Hai Ye Samjhauta
9m | 2024 | Hindi with English Subtitles
Born from twelve caseworkers' recordings across rural Uttar Pradesh, this film uses scraps of cloth, needle and thread, and the timbre of human voices to explore women's choices in the face of domestic violence. This film looks at the word samjhauta and asks: do you make your terms?
Duniya Kee Raunak
19m 40s | 2026 | Telugu, Marathi, Hindi with English Subtitles
Must a television screen decide what our lives will be like? Little Mansoor steps beyond his window to befriend the world outside. Blending shadow puppetry, theatre, and stop motion, the film is a tribute to the earliest, most playful histories of cinema.
Please Note: Children under 16 are to be accompanied by an adult.
