ICAS 11 Film Festival
Screening Schedule
Venue: Lipsius 0.19
The ICAS 11 Film Festival – designed to complement ICAS 11 conference proceedings – will showcase documentary films from Asia. From human interest stories to narratives of caste, community and gender violence and exclusion, these films explore the histories, societies, politics and culture of South, South East and Central Asia. The films attempt to move beyond academic enquiry and could be read as visual documentations of these magnificently and rapidly transforming societies, where tradition and modernity are articulated not as binaries but located in an alternative conceptual universe. The films shortlisted for screening during ICAS 11 come from a diverse range of countries such as India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Japan and Afghanistan. The festival provides a unique platform for ICAS participants to not only experience the films themselves but also be part of a Q&A session with filmmakers and experts immediately after the screenings.
The ICAS 11 Film Festival is curated by Dr Roshni Sengupta.
