(Ojharati Valu) The Vanishing Sand
Diploma Project: A Documentary Film
Guide: Shilpa Das Sponsor: Ford Foundation
Synopsis:
The film focuses on the current issues of commercialization of Alibag, a small town near Mumbai. Through this film I have tried to create awareness about the cultural and environmental aspects of the place that are being overlooked for tourism prospects. I have tried to tell stories of Alibag by voicing the people who belong to this place and thus help in growing sensibility towards the local culture of Alibag. This film is the journey of the once infamous expression “Alibag se aya hain kya?” (Are you from Alibag or what?) To now a favorite holiday destination and the expression “wow, you are from Alibag!” The change is inevitable for any place but will this fame of Alibag help in the betterment of its future?
