Today with strict  protection  Indian  Rhinos  now  number  more  than  2500  at  Kaziranga  National  Park,  a  park  that occupies an area of 640 square kilometres and is in need of desperate expansion. 

The  film’s  director  Sumesh  Lekhi  along  with  his  crew  spent  days  and  nights  with  villagers  in  Indian villages flanking these Ancient Elephant jungles-understanding how their daily lives are affected and how they have to work along with the forest department and its guards to keep elephants away from their crops and homes. Many of the villages and crop plantations stand on original forest lands.

The  project  explores  the  lives  of  these  giants  and  their  family groups and being a keystone species-the large role they play in shaping their habitat. Even while bringing out  the  man-elephant  conflict,  Sumesh  Lekhi  wanted  to  present  the  magnificent  side  of  how  wildlife actually  is  if  left  alone  in  their  natural  environment  and  how  the  lives  of  different  species  are  inter connected. There still is hope for our wildlife and forests, but that will take great human leadership.

A minister of the Govt. of India, or may be a leading politician of the time, was once being taken on a tour of the Jaisalmer district. Travelling for a while through the region and song the lush green Khadins, the water filled nadis, and the not-so-poor looking people, he kept on saying that this was not a 'registaan' ('ise registaan kahte ho?'). The journey continued and he kept on castigating the local people for insisting on calling the land a 'barren desert';. The sun climbed on and lunch was taken. The journey resumed and the temperatures outside rose to unbearable limits. The minister desired the cavalcade to stop for a brief rest. But where were they to stop. For miles on end there were no trees and no shade. All was dry; barren and bleak. And one of the local persons accompanying the minister said, & 'Sab, ye registaan hai!';

Apocryphal though the story may be, it succinctly illustrates the paradox that is the Thaar. A unique landmass that looks bleak and hostile with undulating sand dunes, lowly rock hills bereft of vegetation, saline marshes, and little vegetation, and yet supports a large human and anima population an moderate comfort. The documentary attempts to capture the spirit of the land and the people, who together have evolved into a rich, multifaceted society, and survived through centuries of droughts and scarcities. And the fate of the same land and people now, when the promise of modern science, knowledge and 'development', has brought them on the crossroads which lead into the unknown future.

Redemption or destruction is the question. And which road to travel on, what direction to take?

Dir: Nirmal Chander; 59.23 min; English subtitles; 2019; India; Doc; Director’s Cut

83 year old Vidyadutt Sharma holds the record for growing the heaviest radish in India weighing 23 kgs. He now aims to beat the world record of 31 kgs. Over the last five decades, he has built up Moti Bagh, his 5 acre farm in a small Himalayan village in northern India. Around him lie 7000 ghost villages, left to die, with no one to till the land – a chilling testimony to large scale migration by locals in search of employment in the cities. 

With no manpower at their disposal, the few locals are employing Nepali labour. But there is unease because of this dependence and the growing influence of the Nepalis.As market forces exert pressure, family dynamics are also changing. Vidyadutt’s journalist son, Tribhuvan, lives and works in Pauri, a large town 35 kms from Moti Bagh. His two children wish to chase their own dreams in the metros.
Vidyadutt Sharma, farmer, activist and poet, chronicles the changing landscape in verses of resistance. As he and Ram Singh, his Nepali farmhand, plough the fields to keep a dream called Moti Bagh alive, we wonder if it will ever return to its old glory.

29) Mod Bhaang
Dir: Renu Savant; 60 min; Marathi with Eng subtitles; 2019; India; Doc; Director’s Cut

Mod Bhaang is a participatory documentation of the small scale creek fishermen in Mirya village. While creating a picture of the world of fishermen it probes into and stylizes the idea of the documenting filmmaker in various ways. It has been shot in the monsoon of 2018 in the Mirya creek and records the unfolding of people’s presence and work of fishing there. The film has a formal relation to ‘time’ – both within the narrative and while shooting it. It is the interview as an event in time, which forms the structure of the film.

Forming a continuum of my documentation in the Indian village of Mirya, Mod Bhaang (The Ebb
Tide), is the second in a trilogy of films about this place. Mirya is my ancestral village on the western coast of India and lies beside the sea. Fishing is one of the main activities of livelihood here.

Shooting within Mirya as an insider-outsider and negotiating with caste, gender and cultural politics in the village as a woman filmmaker, has been the major part of my work in the past three years.

Password - AshpatGOTENa2016

On the 6th of December 1961, a life altering choice was made by Mohammed Jaan Baksh. He chose to dedicate his life to serve elephants. He was only eleven years old. His brotherhood with elephants began as the assistant Mahut (Elephant Keeper) to & ‘Shivprasad’, the elephant who became the catalyst for much pain and disillusion in his life a few years later. He abandoned his family on more than one occasion to be with elephants.

The growing ‘Man’ ‘Animal’ conflict is a worry for Mohammed Jaan Baksh and many other elephant lovers like him. As this battle gets intense every day, elephants are fast losing their ground. They are no match to a 1000 ton moving metal at 80 km/h on a rail track. They are no match to a weak looking, rational thinking humans invading & fragmenting their home. Numerous elephants and humans die in this battle of ownership.

Millions of Indians celebrate and worship ‘Lord Ganesha’ the Elephant God. Folding our hands in prayers we ask the Lord to fulfill our dreams and to take away our sorrows. But do we ever hear the Lord’s painful cries ? Do we even care he exist ?

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE FILM

The village of Budhela, in India’s Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh, India, could possibly have one of the wonders of the world – a school of about 300 children who are trained to be ambidextrous. Ambidexterity is defined as the ability to use both the right and left hand equally well. Birangad Prasad Sharma, the founder and Principal of Veena Vadini Public School, trains children from an early age to write using both hands at the same time. These children not only learn to write six different languages - Hindi, English, Urdu, Sanskrit, Roman and Arabic - but also can write in two different languages at the same time. With about only one percent of the population having the ability to be naturally ambidextrous, this documentary explores the unusual but amazing talent of an entire school being able to do so.

The documentary also presents opinions and views of ex-students, parents who have enrolled their children, adults who have enrolled themselves and experts from the fields of Psychology and Psychiatry. While there is consensus that Veena Vadini Public School is training students in a remarkable skill, it remains to be seen how relevant this skill will be in the overall development of a child and if this ability can be successfully used in other facets of life.
