‘Voices From the Fringe’ – the aftermath

Just over 500 viewers came to the ‘kliene zaal’ of de Balie, the venue for the screening of the documentaries under the ‘Voices From the Fringe’ package from? India. While most of the events of the ‘India Festival’ of Amsterdam celebrated the art and culture of India, the Voices package under the banner of the ‘India Express’ program of de Balie looked away from the center – at the fringes and raised critical issues and questions. When change happens at the pace that it presently is in India, what do we see? Is there a price to be paid, what is that and who is paying it? How is technology being used by the media and by people affected by the media? What hasn’t changed? These are just some of the questions asked through the films.
