Persistence Resistance 2014: 17th to 19th February 2014
Organised in collaboration with Magic Lantern Movies LLP Interrogating collaborative practices in cinema, Persistence Resistance 2014 will focus on an in-depth conversation with practitioners on their craft and collaborations. The documentary filmmaker and their subjects are positioned in a matrix of power, ethics, desire and trust that is constant yet shifting. How do filmmakers approach this complex relationship, how do they create a relationship of trust and then determine its parameters, both on and off-camera. These and other issues will be discussed in conversations with filmmakers, editors and cinematographers - Deepa Dhanraj with Navroze Contractor; Ritu Sarin and Tenzing Sonam; Anjali Monteiro and K.P. Jayashankar; Surabhi Sharma; Sanjay Kak; R.V. Ramani, Anupama Srinivasan; Spandan Banerji; Subasri Krishnan; and Jabeen Merchant, the Editor.
