AHMEDABAD CULTURAL WEEK

12 October 2025 I Conflictorium

Set 1- In cities shaped by division and silence, these films confront the realities of marginalised communities, from ghettoisation to caste and communal exclusion.
Set 2- Amidst land fill sludge, disappearing wetlands and encroaching infrastructure, these films expose the crises of urban development, where public consent often amounts to tokenism.

Set 3- These films show the invisible (or is it) systems in the city, where survival means working against stigma.
Set 4- Night markets remaining street, ancient mounds whispering forgotten histories and displaced communities rebuilding from demolished debris. These fi lms show us what remains when development redraws the city.
