*FD Zone Delhi Screenings*
*Tuesday, February 3rd, 2015, 7 pm*
*Gulmohar Hall, India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road, New Delhi*

In the 15th edition of FD Zone Delhi, we bring you a series of short films
directed by the 2014 batch of students of the Creative Documentary Course,
Sri Aurobindo Centre for Arts and Communication (SACAC), New Delhi. The
films reflect a diversity of subject, style and approach, ranging from the
personal to the observational. The distinct voices through which the
filmmakers have chosen to express their stories, offer us a way of looking
at the multiple possibilities inherent in the documentary form itself.

*Maine Dilli Nahin Dekha* (I Am Yet To See Delhi) (19m)

Directed by Humaira Bilkis

*The film is an anthropocentric exploration of the city of Delhi. The
filmmaker discovers the soul of the city not in its museums, mausoleums and
architecture but in her relationship with its people. The process of
looking at the new urban space offers the filmmaker a chance to relook at
her own space, identity and cultural moorings.*



*Raah* (19m20s)

Directed by Radhika Fatania

*How challenging is it for an aspiring young lady to fight the filters
carved out by society and follow her desires to become an independent
filmmaker? Will she overcome the hurdles carried** by social conditioning
and family expectations? Follow the filmmaker through her intimate thoughts
and struggle to prove herself and her passionate art. *



*Koi Dekhne Wala Hai?* (Is Anyone Watching?) (18m30s)

Directed by Shilpi Saluja

*The film explores the sense of touch and music in the lives of children in
a residential school. It's the symbiosis these special children share with
the world around them that has been depicted.*



*Dhyaan Dein* (Attention Please) (12m50s)

Directed by Ansh Vohra & Satendra Singh

*Actuality and perception of actuality are two different but equally valid
realities. What’s ordinary might suddenly seem bizarre and what's bizarre
might emerge from something extremely ordinary. The film juggles between
these two realities while trying to blur the lines that separate them, in
an attempt to understand them both better.*



*Khala ke Yahan*  (At Khala's) (12m30s)

Directed by Varhun Trikha & Varun Ajrawat

*The film is about space and counter space, place and displacement, time
and timelessness, domesticity and seclusion, and words and wordlessness.
Khala, an immigrant from Bangladesh, runs a teashop, which in the dead of
night remodels itself into a domicile for Khala and her seven sons. This
'home' breathes in the ancient city of Mehrauli in Delhi and shares its
walls with Disco Baba shrine (with homed drifters and promises of the other
world) and the secretive step well of sulphur, which hides within its
depths and timelessness, the unreality of its surroundings.*



(Shilpi Saluja, Radhika Fatania, Satendra Singh and Varhun Trikha will be
present at the screening)
