Vertical City: In a far suburb of Bombay, residents from slums are moved into high-rise apartment complexes with the promise of a better life. While these complexes are built allegedly to house the poor, they have been seen as moves to free prime slum land for commercial development. The complexes soon degenerate into places worse than slums. The film lets the viewer experience the living conditions of places hidden away in a 21st century metropolis.

The Affair: In a city of a billion, everyday, a man and a woman meet each other. They turn their backs to the city as they go about their relationship. But this affair can only last for a few minutes, since back at their homes someone waits for them.

Bismaar Ghar: A deeply personal documentary on an aging home and the shifting meanings of belonging in modern Ahmedabad.

Door/Home: A poetic exploration of Dharwad, a city split between two narratives of identity

Venue: Arthshila Ahmedabad
