*Khoon Diy Baarav* enters the vexed political scenario in Kashmir through
the lives of families of the victims of enforced disappearances. The film
is a non-sequential account of personal narratives and reminiscences
ruptured by violence, undermined by erasure and over-ridden by official
documents that challenge truth. Made over nine years it explores memory as
a mode of resistance, constantly confronting and morphing- from the
personal to political, individual to collective. It looks at the ways in
which those affected by violence have no choice but to remember.



*Iffat Fatima* is an independent documentary filmmaker and researcher from
Kashmir, based in Delhi.

Her films include *Lanka-the other side of war and peace,* on conflicts in
Sri Lanka; *The Kesar Saga,* on storytelling in Ladakh; *In the Realm of
the Visual, *on artist and designer Dashrath Patel; *Boojh Sakey to Boojh,*
on Sufi poet and scholar Amir Khusro.  In 2015 she co-edited a
compendium *Bread
Beauty Revolution, Khwaja Ahmad Abbas (1914-1987)*.



She completed a Fellowship, *Recasting Reconciliation through Culture and
the Arts,* at the Brandeis University, Boston, USA in 2004 and the Asia
Fellowship in 2001 for *Inter-communal Relations and Education: The Sri
Lankan Experience.* Since 2006, she is working in on the issue of enforced
disappearances in Kashmir campaigning for information on the whereabouts of
their disappeared kin.



*Ananya Vajpeyi *is Associate Professor at the Centre for the Study of
Developing Societies.


The film will be followed by a discussion and Q & A with Iffat Fatima.
