The Hindu
The films from different South Asian countries, in a myriad of languages and landscapes, address issues like domestic violence, family crisis, social media hate and homosexuality
Kriti Film Club and feminist organisation Jagori have collaborated to present Beyond Borders: A Feminist Film Festival. The seven-day event, which kicked off on November 30, has been organised as a tribute to the annual international campaign, 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.

Aanchal Kapur, the founder of Kriti Films and the curator of the festival, said that the aim was to build South Asian solidarity, and gain support and inspiration from each other. “We have a common language, concerns, problems and a feminist spirit that binds us together. That’s why we decided to name the festival ‘Beyond Borders’; it indicates that this is what we bring to each other beyond borders.”
