- What if I can tell you: After surviving breast cancer, a young woman turns the camera on herself, her family, and prospective grooms across India—uncovering the silence, stigma, and patriarchal expectations surrounding survivorship, marriage, and womanhood in a deeply personal quest for self-acceptance and truth.
- Healing hands: Healing Hands follows Tulu, a traditional healer in Nagaland, as she reflects on her life and work, revealing the cultural and spiritual significance of her practice. Set against the lush landscapes of Nagaland, the film explores her journey, her deep concern for nature’s degradation, and the responsibility she carries within her community.
- In Flanders Fields: While visiting Ypres, Sachin learns that 1.4 million Indians were conscripted by the British to fight on the Flanders Fields during the First World War. Using audio recordings, letters, songs and archives, he brings his anonymous ancestors back to life, like ghosts inlaid in an immovable winter landscape.
- Noises from the basement: As cities expand rapidly, their transformations often go unnoticed. Noises from the Basement paints a portrait of Ahmedabad—a city racing toward development—while exploring the lives of both visible and invisible city makers.
