 documentary filmmaker Iffat Fatima on her most recent film Khoon Diy Baarav 
 (Blood Leaves its Trail), a documentary that explores issues of violence 
 and memory in Kashmir.\n\nAbout the Documentary\nThe film Khoon Diy Baarav 
 enters the vexed political scenario in Kashmir through the lives of 
 families of the victims of enforced disappearances. The film is a 
 non-sequential account of personal narratives and reminiscences ruptured by 
 violence, undermined by erasure and over-ridden by official documents that 
 challenge truth. Made over nine years it explores memory as a mode of 
 resistance, constantly confronting and morphing- from the personal to 
 political, individual to collective. It looks at the ways in which those 
 affected by violence have no choice but to remember.\n\n93mins |
