Indian Filmmakers Present Diverse Social Narratives at International Festivals
Three Indian filmmakers are gaining international recognition for their distinct cinematic works. Shalini Adnani's debut film 'Our Share of Sand' explores societal inequalities through a family's perspective. Anuparna Roy's 'Lovers in the Blue Night' portrays the lives of working-class migrants in Mumbai, addressing identity and sexuality. Ankur Hooda's docu-drama 'The Calf Doll', made in his ancestral village, reflects his journey from rural isolation to filmmaking, now selected for the London Film Festival. Each film highlights diverse social realities in India.
