Nirnay (Decision), by Pushpa Rawat (56’)

The film is Pushpa’s personal journey as she tries to make sense of her own life, and that of her women friends. Set in a lower middle class neighbourhood in the outskirts of Delhi, it explores the lives of women, who are young, educated and bright, but who feel bound and helpless when it comes to taking any major decision regarding their life, be it career or marriage. By following the lives of the women over three years, the film documents the changes in their lives and tries to capture the essence of their existence, at times through conversations, and at others by simply observing their seemingly innocuous everyday routines.

Dream girls , by Afrah Shafiq and Deepika Sharma (15’)

Dream girls tries to look at the ways in which women navigate their daily lives and the ways in which they would like to live it. Their reality is full of protest, fear, vigour, paranoia, chances and victories. But women are also dreaming all the time, and what is it that they dream about?

Followed by an interaction with the film makers.
