Liquid Borders (Canadian Premiere) + H2O (North American Premiere)
Liquid Borders: (IND;2015) (38 minutes)
The documentary film finds its beginning, born out of the need to explore existing geographical & political boundaries of India, juxtaposed with, human, emotional & spiritual bridges. Geographically speaking, India is a peninsula. Three sides are flanked by water. Specifically the East, West & South. Incidentally, the North too, is serrated by mighty rivers. This makes the boundaries of India fluid, inclusive & accessible to our neighbours. The same adjectives interpreted in the political jargon means, menace of porosity, infiltration & threat to security. The magnitude and the irony of this dichotomy promote the need to address this subject as a film.
In a sometimes dark and hopeless world, we need stories reminding us of the constructive options that are always present.
The film was created to engage, enthuse, and envision a new-found look at liquid borders.
H2O: (BDS,2015) (20 minutes)
H20 is a creative informative work of visual art, shot on location in Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean. The scope of the project through Water cooperation is an attempt to highlight and introduce awareness to the impact of water sources, and its management.
