Home and Hatred

Home and Hatred is a juxtaposition of field recordings and documented moving images that attempt to unveil the socio-economic reality of the fringes of our semi-urban hometown. It is an artistic expression of a palpable weakening of conscience around us, marked also by a lack of solidarity between classes and also within classes. Most of all, it is a reflection on our reconciliation of our place in a desensitized society.

Director Statement

The motivation behind the making of this film was to try and unveil the disregarded and dejected existence of the majority of Indian populace.

Our institutions have become increasingly hostile and hollow. Public spaces around us are polluted with regressive ideological symbols of power that territorialize and instill fear. Amidst all of this, the quieter existence of the aforementioned subaltern class tells a loud chaotic tale.

This short documentary is a juxtaposition of field recordings and moving images that attempts to unveil the socio-economic reality of the fringes of our semi-urban hometown.
