As a part of "Women's March", Lamakaan is hosting an array of films based on Gender issues and today's film is MERA APNA SHEHER (My Own City)by Sameera Jain.

This film is an experience of a gendered urban landscape - where the gaze, the voice and the body are at all times under surveillance. What if the multiple surveillances were to be turned upon themselves to observe what is contained in the everyday. The film explores whether there is a sense of ownership, of belonging to the city. Can a woman in the city, - as she continuously negotiates the polarities of anxiety and comfort - be free? Somewhere just under the surface of the `normal’ and in the lives of women cab drivers lie signs of reclamation of space and the gaze. Gender – Urban Landscape – Gaze – Identity – Imagery
