6.30 pm onwards
Kahan Ka Raasta: Nestled in the Himalayan range of Uttarakhand in India, Kalap may soon have a motorable road. Till then the village continues to be 10 kilometres uphill on foot from the nearest road. The film delves into the lives of the people of Kalap, who for generations have been negotiating their own path for sustainable living. With increasingly easy access to the
world beyond, will there be a gradual shift in social and cultural values across generations? Kahan Ka Raasta is an immersive journey, in time and space, into the everyday reality of Kalap. It transpires at the pace of the village life, to unveil its many facets.
Runtime: 48 minutes
Miilelam Miiyoh: Deep into the forests in and around Fakim Wildlife Sanctuary, where the Indian state of Nagaland shares its border with Myanmar, lives the Yimchunger tribe. The protagonists, Shetsulam and Pensokiu, offer insights into the bond they share with their immediate environment – the forests, rivers and wildlife. Even as the community tries to domesticate the mithuns (an animal endemic to northeast India) by redefining their boundaries, the film is an attempt to capture a perceptive account of the changes in their relationship with nature.
Runtime: 24 minutes
