    Abstract: Based on the novel by Prafulla Roy, Charachar (Shelter of the Wings) revolves around the film's protagonist Lakha, who comes from a family of bird catchers. Each day Lakha traps birds and sells them to Shashmal, the local dealer who in turn sells them to wealthy people who live in the city. Unfortunately, before they are sold, many of the birds die. Despite being in desperate need of the money he makes from the birds, Lakha's deep love for them inspires him to let many go free. Frustrated by her husband's lack of ambition and his obsession with the birds, Lakha's wife Sari has an affair with another bird catcher. This beautifully told narrative reveals the connection between humans and the natural world.

    Abstract: A further visit to the Mursi of Southern Ethiopia, with whom contact was established 17 years ago, for an important coming of age ceremony which has had to be postponed many times. An elder of the Mursi faces his last and most important challenge -- to arrange this ceremony. The date has been finally set but life has been very difficult for the Mursi over the past few years owing to attacks by hostile tribes, drought, famine, disease and cattle raiders and even now the ceremony may not take palace. There was a meningitis epidemic from which many people died until a vaccination and treatment programme ended it. This time we visit the South, the heartland of the Mursi, but everyone is fearful for the future.

    Abstract: Based on 'The Meek One', a short story by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, a 40-year-old antique shop owner and money lender recounts his first meetings with his 17-year-old wife, when she pawned her items at his shop. As the film progresses, their marriage is revealed to be an unhappy one with his wife growing increasingly distant and contemptuous of him. Their relationship gets more complicated with each quarrel and consequent reconciliation, even driving his wife to point a gun to his head. Sadly, it is ultimately she herself who gets destroyed. A languidly-paced drama that is a departure from the average Indian narrative film, told largely through the internal monologue of the husband.

    Keywords: Ethnology ; Kalash (Pakistan people) ; Pakistan Social life and customs. ; Canada ; Documentary films.
    Abstract: The Kalasha are a tribal people, 3,000 strong, who live in the high valleys of the Hindu Kush mountains in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan. The Kalasha are unique as a pagan people in this Islamic Republic. Joshi, their three day festival of song and dance, rituals and sacrifice and the re-telling of legends celebrates the coming of spring and encourages chivalrous romance between the sexes. All this provides a colourful focus for this film which explores the life and customs of the Kalasha. Before the menfolk depart to the high mountain pastures for the goats’ summer grazing they present the women with goats’ milk and bread that has been ritually purified. The women sing their thanks, praise and food and clamour for more. Whilst the men are away, the women stay in the narrow valleys, tending their tiny terraced fields of wheat, maize and millet. The Kalasha are worried that their way of life is under threat. The naively mortgaged land and walnut trees to their Chitrali Muslim neighbours, often in exchange for paltry loands. The Chitralis now covet the profits to be made from exploiting the cedar and holm oak which grow in the Kalasha valleys. The Pakistan government is aware of the problems and would like to safeguard the Kalashas’ existence as a flourishing minority culture and tourist industry. But a future as a ‘zoo people’ within a tourist park does not appeal to the Kalasha. They are happy to welcome tourists at their festivities and they appreciate interest in their customs, but they are pragmatic about its value to them.
