Krishnen Khanna is one of India’s most prolific and influential artists. Born in Faislabad (Pakistan) in 1925, and raised in Lahore, the artist and his family moved to Shimla in India during the partition in 1947, a fact that deeply impacted his view on the world. Atypical of artists in the 1940s and 50s, Mr. Khanna was a full-time banker and a part-time artist; his job brought him to Mumbai and into the fold of India’s Progressive Artists Group, giving him the impetus to relinquish banking and give into the all-encompassing life of an artist. In a career spanning over fifty years, Krishen Khanna(90) has established himself as one of the most prolific and influential painters in the Indian art landscape. The film delves into those influences that eventually rendered themselves on canvas Art freezes a series of moments in time. To hear Krishnen Khanna describe the influences behind A Far Afternoon, it is obvious that the piece has been influenced by memories collected over time, discrete images lodged in the artist’s mind and more nascent, less visible thoughts and ideas that dictate the choice of figures and colours. A film in five parts, A Far Afternoon, delves into those influences that eventually rendered themselves on canvas. A Far Afternoon is a filmmaker’s attempt to memorialize the artistic process involved in the creation of the eponymous art work.

A R Rahman travels in search of Rare musical traditions in India.
Across the length and breadth of India, change is blowing through in small, yet significant ways. In this vastly interconnected ecosystem of urban and rural, individual and nation, each layer influences and shapes the other over time. Young girls in rural Rajasthan, business tycoons in bustling Mumbai, researchers on the field in Andhra Pradesh, are all playing out their roles towards transforming the economic and social fabric of this country. In this film, we catch a glimpse into the lives of these discrete yet connected communities, each vibrant, purposeful and joyful. This film is dedicated to our Nation. Inspired by Tagore's famous song 'Matrimandire Punya Angana koro mahajollo aaj hey’ (Brighten the courtyard of the Temple of your motherland).
