 1. Rabba Hun Kee Kariye - Thus Departed Our Neighbours

 By Ajay Bhardwaj/ 65 minutes/with English Subtitles/2007

Festival: Travelling Film South Asia 2008

Venue: India International Centre, Auditorium, New Delhi

Time: Thursday 28th August, 7.30pm

Synopsis

Rabba Hun Kee Kariye trails a shared history of Punjab - a culture,
language and a way of life- that was torn asunder in the fateful year
of 1947. It captures the documentary maker's almost unexpected
encounter with feelings of guilt and remorse about the genocidal
violence of the partition. These informal tales, almost like folklore,
are strewn across the memory-scape of Punjabi countryside. Through
this documentary these long suppressed experiences become accessible
for debate in public domain for the first time.


2. Of Land, Labour and Love

By Ajay Bhardwaj / 65 minutes/with English Subtitles/2008

Festival: Jeevika South Asia Documentary Film Festival

Venue: Casuarina Hall, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi

Time: Friday 29th August, 2.20 pm


Synopsis

 Of Land, Labour and Love captures the irony of the lives of the
tribal people of Dasmanthpur block in Koraput district.of Southern
Orissa. A hilly, upland terrain rich in diversity of crops, however,
its people suffer chronic malnutrition and ill-health. In their midst,
Ama Sangathan, a federation of tribal women's organisations, strives
to find new ways by which they can equip themselves to restore their
fragile eco system. A system eroded by the felling of trees, a callous
government and years of exploitation of its people. But this is just a
beginning and the countervailing forces are still strong...
