Indian Youth: An Exploration by Shyam Benegal explores the problem of Indian youth.
I am 20 by S.N.S. Sastry is a unique film that resulted from interviewing the selected people who were born on Independence Day in 1947 from different parts of India. It was to find out about their hopes and desires, ambitions, hobbies, fears and frustrations.
This Bit from That India by S.N.S. Sastry is a layered reflection on youth culture, diversity, progress, education, technology and sexuality. The film juxtaposes documentary moments that celebrate individual freedom with a theatrical performance of Federico Garcia Lorca’s The House of Bernarda Alba, as a metaphor for repression and conformity.
Explorer by Pramod Pati is an experimental short that daringly uses rapid cutting, dissonant noises, intercut negatives, etc. to capture the tensions the urban youth of India experienced following the turmoil of the ’60s.
