Waiting for a Storm - Trailer

The chars of the Brahmaputra are a curious geographical feature of the river - they are small, temporary land masses, almost like islands, that appear and disappear seasonally due to erosion. They are also places that many immigrant communities of Assam call home. They farm on the transient land masses and raise their families there as well. Waiting for a Storm explores this ephemeral relationship between the chars and their residents through the prism of two different subjects - Amjad Ali, a farmer who lives on such a char and Sahjahan Hussain, a young activist from the mainland who is working for land rights of the char dwellers. Through their voices the film navigates questions of identity and reform. And as their paths converge, Amjad and Sahjahan's future remains as uncertain as the receding landscape surrounding them.

Kanche Aur Postcards – Touching Short Film (Childhood Memories)

Kanche aur Postcard is a sweet, lighthearted story of a schoolboy wanting and being denied a game of marbles while on vacation. Seen through the young protagonist eyes, though, it is a story full of drama; with deeply felt rejections, difficult choices and unfortunate compromises. Through its innocence and simplicity, Kanche aur Postcard explores deeper themes of class, caste, control and acceptance. The film also reminds us of the often-overlooked yet very essential differences of perception and understanding between children and adults.
