Persistence Resistance 2009
If you are in Delhi, it’s a great chance for you to watch some of the most interesting documentaries with political themes during April 17-19. The forum is Persistence Resistance 2009, the festival of documentaries (and a few features too).
Magic Lantern Foundation of Gargi Sen is organizing the festival – its 2nd edition – in collaboration with India International Centre (the venue). The MLF in its festival announcement says, “What happens when art gets inextricably linked to the politics of subversion and resistance, not only of other art forms but the processes of human movement as well? What persists then, the art or values residing in resistance? In trying to address this vast jigsaw puzzle of the multiple meanings of the words persistence and resistance this festival was conceived. It is also an ode to the persistent vision of films, closely guarded by an ever-changing relationship between the film and the viewer.”
There is a special focus on South Asia this time, with the films and directors exploring the simultaneous nature of the composite and the fragmented cultures of the subcontinent.
The films will be screened in auditoria, in the outdoors, in simulated video parlours, at a multi-hub video library, and as installations. There will be daily seminars to engage with aesthetics and politics of the documentary form. Entry is free and the festival schedule is available on www.magiclanternfoundation.org
