The Strike and I

About the film

As I wandered through the FTII student’s strike with a camera, still trying to figure out whether to jump in actively or not, I witnessed that on the backdrop of a rather traditional collective struggle, there were a few students who kept questioning the form and language of the strike. They kept contemplating about a more appropriate and effective form to voice our concerns-a form which would be inclusive, integrated and creative. On the other hand, I was occupied throughout the strike with a rather pressing question, how to cope with, understand and express incomprehensibly intense feelings for someone? What language? Which form? I attempt to recount the memories of those intense days which were extremely difficult to cope with yet hugely rewarding.
