Samayada Harivu (Flow of Time) Bangalore "Samayada Harivu (Flow of Time)" delves into the lived experiences of Noor Mary and Prasad, inhabitants residing on opposite sides of the Historic Begur Lake. The documentary observes the complexities surrounding the concept of reclamation and its relevance today. For Noor Mary, the lake is a way to practice sustainable agriculture, whereas for Prasad it is a means of recreation and a chance to stay connected with nature. The contrast between the two distinct voices and the communities they represent emerge. The film paints a picture about the historical significance of the lake, emphasizing on the daily interactions that defined lives then. However, shifting water and land usage patterns resulted in a diminished connection with the lake over time. As the documentary unfolds, it sheds light on the recent community-driven efforts to reclaim the Begur Lake. Through the voices of Noor Mary and Prasad, the film prompts viewers to reflect on the very essence of reclamation—raising essential questions about its true nature and the beneficiaries of such endeavours. The Begur Lake once meant a way of sustainable livelihood. Today it is testament to an act of restoration.

Hello Guyzz is a reflection of modern day India where - cheap internet, longing to become the next big star, and high aspirations are a reality. But so are class, caste and gender differences. To Sumita, the subject (and also the star of the documentary) social media is a tool that provides her a space to have an alternate identity on tiktok ; an identity away from getting kids ready to school, away from being a homemaker, away from struggling to find means to lead a good life. Sumita straddles between her mundane domestic life, and life on social media in hopes of being able to make a successful career out of it and also maybe fulfill her long lost dream of becoming an actor. With this film, we aim to document this at the intersectionality of gender, society and class. Sumita, is like any other modern Indian woman trying to navigate between her personal and public space dichotomy, all this while trying to find financial primary crew independence and identity.
