PERSISTENCE/RESISTANCE-
A FESTIVAL OF DOCUMENTARY FILMS
NEW DELHI, APRIL 28-30, 2008
Dear friend,
We are
happy to invite you to Persistence Resistance: a festival of
contemporary documentaries, made in the last 10 years, which will
screen over 100 films in a multitude of spaces. Films will be shown in
two auditoria, in open air venues and also in unique video booths,
where people can check out a film of their choice from a temporary
'library', as well as in loops on video monitors around the venue. The
festival will showcase retrospectives of the work of four among the
documentary filmmakers working in India today: R.V.Ramani, Sehjo Singh,
Paromita Vohra and Madhusree Dutta.
The
festival celebrates a rich, exciting moment in the history of the
Indian documentary film: its diverse subject and forms, its independent
spirit and aesthetics and its complex political voice.
Along
with the screenings there will also be presentations on each evening
which will explore the linkages between art, literature, theatre,
comics, animation and censorship with films.
We will
also carry a section on international documentaries in an attempt to
explore the notions of internationalism in the present day scenario of
neo-liberal globalisation. The work of the well known South
African filmmaker Rehad Desai is also included in the retrospective
section.
