ABOUT THE FILMS

 

"This or That Particular
Person" 

(27:53/English)



 

 The documentary film “This
or That Particular Person” is a meditation on the notion of personhood as seen
by the Indian State.  It does so by examining the idea of official
identity documents, and in that context, the Unique Identity number (UID or aadhar) project that was
introduced in India in 2009.  Through the lens of the UID, the film
looks at what identity documents means to people, and how the aadhar project is perceived.“This
or That Particular Person” is also a conversation with the State about ideas of
inclusion, exclusion, surveillance and citizenship, and it does so by
interrogating the Unique Identity number project

A PRAYER FOR ALIYAH

(27 MIN./ENG)

 

In a remote corner of North East India, 7,500 tribal
Kuki-Chin-Mizo believe that they are the descendants of the Lost Tribe of
Menasseh. Having lost all written records of their history, they are faced with
the considerable task of having to prove themselves as Jews before being
allowed to migrate to Israel. Relentlessly determined and eternally hopeful,
they dream to end their 2,500-year exile and return to the Promised Land of
their forefathers. 'A Prayer for Aliyah' gives an insight into the lives of
three Manipuri Jews living in a turbulent, neglected part of the country where
their steadfast belief and strict practice of Orthodox Judaism offer them a
glimpse of a better life.
