Top 5 Documentary Film Festivals in India

I sat glued to the screen of my phone for hours at a stretch. My roommate grew concerned as she saw me weep with half an hour or so. When she had had enough she snatched my phone and yelled at the top of her voice, “Will you stop watching these family dramas after all!” To her surprise she found a documentary on child brides in India playing on my phone. As she heard the story of a teenager rescued by the documentary filmmaker, she couldn’t hold back her tears too.

 

Every year hundreds of filmmakers document the reality of the world they live in, of the world we live in through the medium of films.

Would you like to discover an authentic Rajasthani experience that is way beyond palaces and castle and that has more colours than one can name? You can witness the ‘Rajasthani Magic’ that drips in the form of art and crafts in every nook and corner here.

The folk and tribal arts of this monochromatic land are simple, yet they speak volumes about the rich heritage of India. Rajasthani Tribal artisans are known for their craftsmanship, and fine art and thus, arts and crafts of these tribes inspire many documentary filmmakers in India.

If you wish to visit Rajasthan for documenting the lives of these tribes and capture their art form line producers in Rajasthan can assist you. Here are tribes that will win your hearts in all the ways possible:

Bhil Tribe

Bhil Tribe- fixer and line producer - filming indo Rajasthan

Bhil Tribes, who mainly reside in Udaipur, Dungarpur, and Chittorgarh, make 39% of the tribal population in Rajasthan. In their stunning paintings, they bring to life the natural phenomena of nature such as changing seasons, rising sun, moon, animals, trees, rivers, and even mythological figures.

They use neem sticks and other twigs along with herbal colours and vegetable dyes or colors made from Kumkum, Haldi, Kajal, Rice, Mehendi, to paint the clay walls of their village homes. Bhil paintings are made of large shapes of characters that are filled in with uniform dots in different patterns and colours. The dot patterns are the artist’s signature styles that set them apart. These natural colours and dots of Bhils derive fascinating paintings that can leave anyone mesmerized.

If you desire to experience the Bhil art in its pure form, then you must enter the house of the Bhil artisans themselves. Fixers in Udaipur and fixers in Jaipur can make this possible for you.

Meena Tribe

Meena is another tribal group in Rajasthan spread over various regions in the state. For centuries the women of the Meena tribe have been passing a remarkable craft known as Mandana paintings to their daughters.

They use a white paste that is made of rice and milk to paint motifs of birds and animals with their young on mud surfaces of their homes. You will also find the breath-taking photographs filled with vibrant full-colours that represent a glimpse of the lives of these extraordinary Meena artists.

Rabari Tribe

Stunning silver jewellery distinguishes the nomadic Rabari tribe that moves between various regions of Rajasthan like Sirohi and Udaipur. Their demure look and the colourful exuberance of the costumes amidst the deserted lands are finely balanced with layers of silver that adds grace in their entire persona.

The women of Rabari tribe exude radical beauty with astounding designs of silver ornaments adorning their bodies.  This ethnic tribal community embellish jewellery to distinguish themselves from the other tribe. But silver jewellery is not just a piece of decorative for these tribes, it is their identity as well as investment, and above all, it is an ancient and unique craft. If you desire to see these nomadic tribes making the finest of silver jewellery, then fixers in Udaipur can guide you.

Bishnoi Tribe

Bishnoi art form is so calm and soothing that it brings nothing but glee to one’s heart. Beautifully painted chest huts surrounding the dessert makes the Bishnoi’s village in Jodhpur as one of the prime locations for filming in India.

Transform the true colours of Rajasthan into a treasured cinema

Still, this tribal art form is so rooted that it never gets rid of the honesty of its depictions despite all the recognition it has achieved.

The government and media support in India, particularly for filmmaking and documentary shooting, over the years have been improving. The policy observed by various states in north India such as Uttar Pradesh has made India an attractive destination for filmmakers.

In addition, the country offers some amazing locations – dense forests, modern and colonial architecture, and bazaars – that combined with the low cost of logistics makes it a viable option for the filmmaking business.

In fact, a signboard states this explicitly! The location is perfect for shots that involve dense pine forests, snow, and sloped terrain.

Resembling California’s Antelope Valley, the valley is covered with flowers of varied colours with the grandeur of the Zanskar and Himalayas as its backdrop. The perfect time to visit this location is between July and September.

Recently, the state was also awarded as one of the friendliest states in terms of its film policy.

The aim of the documentary is to achieve a widespread impact on Thai audience by bringing them too many places around the world which serious environmental issues exists in extreme scales.

For filming in India,  the show aims to travel in and study the air pollution crisis in  ‘Gurugram’, the city that was declared as the most polluted city of the world in 2018 and ‘New Delhi’ as the world’s most polluted capital city in 2018.

The show has to cover both the cultural and the environmental aspects of the 2 cities, how people live their everyday lives within such pollution, the impacts the air pollution have on their healths, the causes of such pollution, and what are being done to appease the problems. The aim is the to compare the case in India with what is now happening in Thailand, with the air quality getting worse every month in Bangkok and many other provinces. So the lesson learned by the people and organizations in Gurugram and Delhi can help Thai society deal better with the increase air pollution problems in the upcoming future.

A four days shooting was scheduled in the state of Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. It was a big challenge to bring together each and every expert ranging from locals, doctors, NGOs, Air Quality Expert and Government Authorities for views.

It tool around 10 days for all the research and arranging key people and places for shooting. It all started with filming a montage or you can say an introduction of India by showing various glimpses of Delhi markets, architecture and colourful people.

One the first day of shooting, the team went to spice market which is near Chowdi Bazar and Chandni Chowk. We interviewed few shopkeepers asking them what they feel about air pollution and its effect on economy. We arranged a shopkeeper whose shop is running since last 200 years and sells cups and plates of leaves which used to very popular earlier. The products relate to out subject as because of tremendous using of plastics, our environment is highly polluted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The whole team sat on Battery rikshaw and travelled to Red Fort where we arranged an NGO called Parwaah Foundation for showing us how an NGO is coming forward and spreading awareness about the air pollution.

The NGO distributed good quality masks to hundreds of people came at Red Fort as a part of social work. The NGO also has eco friendly pens and pencils which has seeds capsule on top. It shows the need that we should really implement and adopt also  to teach to young ones to protect environment further.

Delhi is not very large but there are some areas which are very clean and beautiful. Areas like Central Secretariat, Parliament House, and India Gate etc are best places for filming in New Delhi. We visited such places for shooting cleanest part of Delhi where there are mostly government building and archeological sites exist. These places are best suitable to give an idea of India’s capital vibes.

After the recent outbreak of air pollution various news startups and NGOs related to air pollution solutions begin to emerge in Delhi and nearby states. We wanted to show a shop where selling of air purifiers and masks have raised.

For this we went to Nirvana Being shop at Khan Market which is also one of the very expensive markets in New Delhi. During peak air pollution crisis, the selling of masks were increase immensely and me myself saw a long queue out of the Nirvana Being to purchase good quality masks. We interviewed Mr Jai Dhar Gupta for his opinion on air pollutions effect on human and ways we can tackle it. Mr Gupta demonstrated special silicon made masks for best protection and few other important products to be used for citizen. However the products are expensive and cant be afforded by normal people.

Wir sorgen dafür, dass die Botschaft der Veranstaltung durch die aufgenommenen Bilder klar und deutlich wiedergegeben wird, um die besten Veranstaltungsvideos zu erstellen.

Jeder Höhepunkt Ihrer Veranstaltung sowie die Reaktionen und Emotionen der Zuschauer werden von unserem erfahrenen Produktionsteam festgehalten. Die besten Teile Ihrer Veranstaltung können entsprechend Ihren Marketingzielen zusammengefasst und neu verpackt werden.
Bei Echtzeit-Streaming-Events erfassen unsere Produktionsspezialisten die Essenz Ihres Events auf effiziente Weise. Für den Fall, dass Ihre Zielgruppe global verteilt ist, können wir auch das Streaming Ihrer Veranstaltung über eine nahtlose Echtzeitübertragung einrichten. Unser Team von Inhouse-Broadcast-Experten mit langjähriger Erfahrung sorgt dafür, dass Ihre Event-Videografie weltweit bestmöglich zur Geltung kommt.

Unsere Kunden fordern hochmoderne Streaming-Geräte, um ihre Veranstaltungen abzudecken. Egal ob Einzel- oder Multikamera-Setup, wir verwenden die besten Geräte unserer Klasse für alle unsere Produktionsanforderungen. Wir können auch ein Live-Streaming Ihrer Veranstaltung in kürzester Zeit einrichten. Ein hochqualitatives Video für Ihre große Veranstaltung zu haben, ist letztendlich eine Bereicherung für die Zukunft. Darüber hinaus werden die Gesamtbotschaft und die Kommunikation Ihrer Veranstaltung fortgesetzt, ohne dass Sie auf dem Transportweg verloren gehen.
Die Fristen unserer Kunden sind unsere Priorität. Wir versichern Ihnen, dass unser Abschlussvideo innerhalb der vereinbarten Frist geliefert wird.
