A Mercedes for Ashish
Director
A cinematic document of simultaneous degradations of human space and dignity in Delhi - images of how roads, walls, constructions-in-progress, ganda nalas, billboards - all in some way attack the human body.
Tales from the Planet Kolkata
Writer
A personal film about a city that may only exist in a film or on TV; a film about various dreams about Calcutta. It starts with a variation on the first image of Francis Ford Coppola's ‘Apocalypse Now’ and takes the spectator along through a strange file full of ideas and images of the city. Some images come from the North - Hollywood films and European television. The commentators are a local, traditional painter and an Afro-American video-artist from New York.

Memories of Milk City: Sketches for a Film on Ahmedabad
Director
A fourteen minute cine-poem, Memories of Milk City catches Ahmedabad at a time of transition, peeling away layers of textures, gestures and sounds, tripping over a culture and a language at war with themselves.
