15-19 Aug, multiple veneus, Chennai
Organised by MARUPAKKAM
As India celebrates her Independence Day on every 15th August, the film festival we organise aims to discuss and debate the freedom that some of us enjoy and many of us don't have access to.
Are we really free people? How many hurdles we face every day both internally and externally while fighting for our freedom?
How much we are tied to our Class, Caste, Gender, Race or Religion or for that matter Nation?
The film festival invites films from across the world from the artists who imagine a world where we all achieve our freedom.
