Sh Datta was present today at the inaugural screening of the film. A co-production with the Steps India and YLE Finland, his latest film, ‘Dot In for Motion’ has received the prestigious Jan Vrijman Fund and premiered in IDFA’08, Amsterdam.
‘Dot in for motion’ traces India’s recent growth after economic liberalization and the information revolution and its effect on the lives of the vast Indian populace. Does globalization really usher in liberty? Does the open market mean a more open society? Does it really foster democracy? Or is it a process of homogenization slowly taking over this nation of enormous diversity? The film neutrally records the voice of people, from lounge of the silicon city to a remote tribal village that never heard of electricity.
