I AM TWENTY
Directed by SNS Sastry,
English and Hindi, B/W, 1967, 20 min; produced by Films Division
Twenty years after
India's independence, the film maker travels across the country and interviews
its youth, those born in 1947. What does independence mean to them? What are
their dreams? How do they see themselves and the young nation that they
symbolise? The answers have a mix of idealism, irony, sarcasm, dismay, hope and
optimism. This film is as relevant today as it was over forty years ago.
INDIA 67 / AN INDIAN DAY
Directed
by S Sukhdev, Music, Colour, 1967, 58 min; produced by Films Division
“India 67” was
commissioned to celebrate 20 years of India’s independence. Sukhdev, working
within the state-run Films Division, went on to make a film that was far
removed from propaganda.
