Film screening selection by Yogesh Barve: Yogesh Barve, Virgile Fraisse, Rani Khanna, Parashar Naik & Amol K Patil
Outcasts, untouchables, poor, and illiterate, are forced to occupy the background of urban architecture and stretches of road in the Indian landscape. This series of films selected by Yogesh Barve approaches strategies of narration and humour even among the most marginalised communities through a set of moving images, voices, and music. Barve’s work highlights the Dalit community in India and the ongoing social exclusion due to the pervasive caste system.
