Ayodhya Gatha
Directed by Vani Subramanian
Produced by the Publice Service Broadcasting Trust
2007

The film weaves together a tapestry of perspectives on how deeply the politics of hate affect
personal everyday lives, and what it takes to negotiate your way out of these labyrinths.

For two decades now, the destruction of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya has influenced national events
in India. But beyond the symbolism that the Uttar Pradesh town holds for the rest of the country,
how has that event affected life in Ayodhya itself? As this film relates, today the streets of Ayodhya seem to have lost touch with the feet of its residents. Blocked and barricaded, our only access to the citizens is through memory: the telling of stories, the hearing of tales, the very gatha of Ayodhya’s people.

City Of Photos
Directed by Nishtha Jain
Produced by Raintree Films; Smriti Nevatia
2005

City of Photos explores the little known ethos of neighborhood photo studios in Indian
cities, discovering entire imaginary worlds in the smallest of spaces. Tiny, shabby studios that appear to be stuck in a time warp turn out to be places throbbing with energy. As
full of surprises as the people who frequent these studios are the backdrops they enjoy posing against and the props they choose. These afford fascinating glimpses into indivi-
dual fantasies and popular tastes. Yet beneath the fun and games runs an undercurrent
of foreboding. Not everyone enjoys being photographed; not every backdrop is beautiful; not
all photos are taken on happy occasions. The cities in which these stories unfold themselves become backdrops, their gritty urban reality a counterpoint to the photo palaces. Desires, memories and stories, all so deeply linked to the photographic experience, come together as
part of a personal journey into the city of photos.
