HINDUSTAN HAMARA (This Country Is Ours) 98 minutes, English, Marathi, Hindi, Malayalam (Subtitled in English), 2014 Photographed, Edited, Directed and Produced by R.V.Ramani

Anand Patwardhan has been making and screening documentary films as an extension of his socio-political activism, for over forty years now. In what appears to be a rare encounter between two filmmakers, R.V. Ramani, a cinematographer and an auteur in his own right, decides to engage in a ‘visual conversation’ with Anand Patwardhan, as the latter goes about screening his films across diverse audiences in the country. The film unfolds a range of poignant perspectives around Anand’s screening events and seems to raise primary questions in documentary filmmaking and representational politics.
