The Solagars are indigenous tribes who call the forests their home. But this home is without a dependable source of drinking water for most parts of the year, especially during the summer months.

Bow Barracks: Beyond the Red Bricks
Dir: Vaidyanath Nishant; 25:25 min; Documentary; India

The 300 year-old city of Kolkata is a place where colonial grandeur meets bustling modernity. But beyond the well-told tales of its food, architecture, and festivals lies a story often overlooked.

Nestled near Esplanade’s chaos stands Bow Barracks, a red-bricked settlement built in 1918 to house soldiers returning from World War I. It now stands as one of the oldest Anglo-Indian settlements in India, but over the decades, many have left to settle abroad and find their ways of life. The Barracks now remains, guarded by the few who chose to stay - guarding a heritage which has been long overshadowed by the glitz and glam of the city’s urban development and expansion. It is a fragile yet vibrant testament to a heritage that refuses to fade, even as the city around it keeps evolving.

A district-level tournament becomes her last chance to change her future. As she steps onto the Kabaddi court, Sujata slips into a Bollywood-tinted dream, momentarily becoming the hero of her own story.

'Bali' is a bittersweet portrait of growing up in rural India. In a culture where grief and pain are rarely articulated, the film explores how young girls like Sujata cope with hardship through humour, escapism, and quiet resilience.

Karma Gaabo Re.
Dir: Shubham Neware; 47:00 min; Documentary; India


Spread across Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, and Chhattisgarh, the Baiga Tribe has seen its population decline over time.

14th CIDSFF 2026 : Election Diaries 2024

Election Diaries 2024

A CeMIS (Centre for Modern Indian Studies) production

The Election Diaries produced by CeMIS (the Centre for Modern Indian Studies), comprise nine documentary films that tell the story of the 2024 Indian elections for different stakeholders, encompassing different issues over diverse locations, linguistic regions and states. From the possibility and potential of queer representation in electoral politics, to the contestation and appropriation of cultural symbols and caste politics in Tamil Nadu; from the survival of Muslim identity politics in Hyderabad to the ethnocentrism of son-of-the-soil versus outsider politics in Meghalaya; from the awakening of a social movement in Karnataka that combats Hindu majoritarianism to the aspirations and frustrations of political activists and local youth in small town Uttar Pradesh; from an analysis of the election manifesto of a visionary Leftist leader in Kerala, to a story of redemption and political survival in West Bengal, to a stirring grass roots campaign in Bihar, Election Diaries 2024 is a reflection of the anxieties brought about by the seemingly inexorable march of Hindu majoritarianism, as also the fierce, and oftentimes heroic struggles of oppositional parties, movements, and individuals in the battle for a continuing democratic future for India.


We are happy to screen the following six films from the package :



Alishan Jafri and Omair Farooq : Crescent in the Saffron Sky (53 min)

Location: Various locations in Tamil Nadu


Pankaj Rishi Kumar: Gola Dreams (51 min)


‘Gola Dreams’ is a filmic deconstruction of the electoral process. It is set in Gola, a small town, part of Kheri LS constituency in Uttar Pradesh.

Location: Gola, Uttar Pradesh


Sunanda Bhat: SANGAMA | coming together (67 min) 


A behind-the-scenes look at how a popular people’s movement against hate and divisive politics takes on the might of an authoritarian right- wing party in the recent Indian General Elections 2024. With a large band of volunteers on the ground, Eddelu Karnataka (‘Wake-Up Karnataka’) teams with citizens' groups across the country, to dramatically shift the conversation from ‘mandir’ (temple) to ‘mudda’ (issues), making this a closely fought election.
