City of Photos (2005)
City of Photos (60 min)
India, 2005 Director:Nistha Jain
Special Commendation at FSA ’05
The film explores the little known ethos of old neighborhood photo studios in a variety of Indian cities, discovering entire imaginary worlds in the smallest of spaces. Tiny, shabby studios that appear stuck in a time warp turn out to be throbbing with energy. These afford fascinating glimpses into individual fantasies and popular tastes. Yet beneath the fun and games runs an undercurrent of foreboding.
