Director's Cut with K.P. Jayasankar and Anjali Monteiro: Filmmaking in India
-

This is a past event

Professor J.K. Jayasankar and Professor Anjali Monteiro have created some of the most innovative and beautiful documentaries in the history of Indian filmmaking.

Both hold appointments at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences in Mumbai, and together have made over 35 films, winning over 30 national and international awards, including the prestigious Basil WrightPrize at the RAI Ethnographic Film Festival in Edinburgh in 2013 for their exquisite film, So Heddan So Hoddan (Like Here Like There). Their films present insightful studies that pose questions about the self and the other, normality and deviance. Other works, such as Identity: The Construction of Selfhood was awarded a prize in 1995 at the Prix Futura Festival in Berlin and Saacha was exhibited in 2013 at the Tate Modern in London.  They arrive from India to discuss a cross-section of their work interlaced with clips from the films.

A reception will be held afterwards in the Linklater Rooms.
