Persistence/Resistance-A Festival of Documentary Films, New Delhi April 28-30
Persistence Resistance: a festival of contemporary documentaries, made in the last 10 years, which will screen over 100 films in a multitude of spaces. Films will be shown in two auditoria, in open air venues and also in unique video booths, where people can check out a film of their choice from a temporary ‘library’, as well as in loops on video monitors around the venue. The festival will showcase retrospectives of the work of four among the documentary filmmakers working in India today: R.V.Ramani, Sehjo Singh, Paromita Vohra and Madhusree Dutta,as well as the work of Rehad Desai from South Africa.
The festival celebrates a rich, exciting moment in the history of the Indian documentary film: its diverse subject and forms, its independent spirit and aesthetics and its complex political voice.
Along with the screenings there will also be presentations on each evening which will explore the linkages between art, literature, theatre, comics, animation and censorship with films.
This festival will also carry a section on international documentaries in an attempt to explore the notions of internationalism in the present day scenario of neo-liberal globalization.
