Voices from the Fringe – Documentary Film Festival-14th to 23rd Nov. 2008

25th September 2008 0 By Nandini

 

Nandini Bedi, Festival Director

The idea is to focus on Indian documentary films from the geographical, economic, cultural, religious and political fringes of a society that has global economic and political aspirations. These voices are as varied as they are fresh and articulate. They are counterpoints to the more visible and audible side of the new emerging India. They are connected, touched by and changed by the India with the global aspirations. In turn, how do they connect, change and contribute to the India we see in the spotlight?

This Film Festival is supported by the HIVOS-NCDO Cultuurfonds.
