The film:
The Naga Story _The Other Side of Silence_ is the first comprehensive
film on the Nagas, a three million strong indigenous people, who
occupy the North-East frontier of the Indian subcontinent. The film,
which took five years in the making, documents human rights abuses
suffered by the Nagas in more than 50 years of the existence of
Independent India - with interviews, on-foot coverage and views from
different sections of the Naga population including various political
formations and factions.
"A film that captures the resistance, the despair, the anguish, the
hopes and aspirations of a generation of Nagas in their struggle for
self determination and their overwhelming desire for peaceâ¦"
The film maker:
Gopal Menon started his film career with a documentary on the
destruction of tropical evergreen forests in the Nilgiri biosphere.
While still a student of Business Administration, he started working
with the People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) on the organised
violence on Muslims in Coimbatore, and the subsequent bomb blasts in
the city. He has been documenting the Naga and Kashmiri political
movements since 1998. Two films have evolved from this - Naga Story:
The Other Side of Silence and PAPA 2 (on enforced disappearances in
Kashmir). His other movies are Resilient Rhythms, Hey Ram!, Genocide
in the Land of Gandhi, Voices from Gujarat.
Gopal has worked as Location Director for a Channel 4 News report on
the funding of Hindu Extremist organisations and shot the film -
Hindu Nationalism in Britain in UK and India.
The film club:
The Kriti Film Club is an informal space for screening documentary &
mainstream films as well as slide shows, on a whole range of issues
connected with development, human rights & social attitudes/ trends
once a month. We also serve as a borrowing & buying space for
documentary films.
Looking forward to seeing you for the film and the discussion after
that.
* If you are interested in book shopping check out the KRITI
Information Place.
* If you are interested in jute bags, cloth notebooks, even some
jewellery etc check out our Gestures stall.
* And, if you are interested in recycling your waste paper, bring it
along & get handmade stationary in return.
It would be great if you let us know that you are coming. We can then
keep sufficient quantities of nimboo pani and kurkure available, to
go with the evening.
With warm regards, KRITI team.
