Hybrid Forms (a term describing mixtures and combinations) adds on to this predominant idea of documentary film by an increasingly closer interconnection of film, television, new media and the development of video and digitalisation. In the '80s and '90s, particularly, the younger generation of filmmakers tried out a large number of hybrid film techniques and forms that deliberately ignored the traditional rules and boundaries between genres. The films presented in this series reflect such new trends in the documentary genre.

There will be an interactive discussion between the two screenings on March 12th, moderated by film experts from Srishti School.

We are attaching the screening schedule and film synopses and would be grateful if you could publish a curtain raiser on this event and depute your film critic to view and review the films.
