Culled from over 5,000 photographs by Jyoti Bhatt (b. 1934) from the collection of Bengaluru’s Museum of Art and Photography, this short film pays respect to an artist whose body of work is a portrait of the Indian nation and offers a poetic visual and sonic journey across land and time.
The Kangra Valley of Himachal Pradesh has a living tradition of the age-old water distribution system regionally called 'kuhls'. The custodians of the kuhls, or water-channels are the 'kohlis'. This film follows contemporary kohlis and their struggles in keeping the system alive.
