The stage is set and the power to write your own narra2ve, to
drive new conversa2ons is in your hands. You, the film-maker. Your
lens and your cinema can ask the ques2ons that haven’t seen the
light of day. Your stories can rewrite the canon of Indian Cinema.
Take this chance to have your work spoken of alongside previous
film-makers at Samuday ke Saath, a short film compe22on, who have
received na2onal and interna2onal acclaim at 2017 Kaohsiung
Interna3onal Short Film Compe33on, 6th Garifuna Interna3onal
Indigenous Film Fes3val, California, Los Angeles 2017, '8th Dada
Saheb Phalke Film Fes3val- 2018’.
Since its incep2on in 2015, Samuday ke Saath has recognised the
power of films in upholding and bringing forth the voices that
speak of tribal iden2ty and culture and challenges, fears, sorrows
and narra2ves that influence and shape the tribal communi2es at
large, for it is the medium of cinema that not only has a cathar2c
effect but also encourages meaningful conversa2ons that can propel
people into ac2on. In the past, we have reached more than 13,000
tribal women and men in Jharkhand and Odisha through community
screenings. In 2019 we open up this plaNorm, yet again, to
passionate and crea2ve film-makers and enthusiasts to add to this
journey of crea2ng alterna2ve cinema that can speak of the stories
people need to hear.
Samuday ke Saath
To appreciate the best of tribal films by students and
development prac22oners this year we seek entries that revolve
around ‘Tribalism.Today.’ How are tribal communi2es engaging with
21ˢᵗ century phenomena like climate change? Are the needs of the
tribal youth same as they were 50 years ago? In a world where
development is increasingly becoming synonymous with the existence
of policies, how conscious is the tribal community of its rights?
Does the tribal community have answers to the world’s most burning
ques2ons around sustainable living? We invite interested candidates
to explore these areas and other aspects influencing the tribal
community to bring us stories hidden in the interiors, overshadowed
by other perspec2ves, or revolu2ons that are erup2ng in diverse
ways. As we say, the stage is set.
The top three films selected by the jury will:
Receive cer3ficate and cash
prize (First: Rs 25,000; Second: Rs 20,000 and
Third: Rs 15,000) in both categories
