Synopsis:
Tenfa
Set in the Himalayan region of Kinnaur, Tenfa is an intergenerational tale. Three women journey across their scarred ancestral land in search of a medicinal herb, guided only by a folksong in a language that Dolma has forgotten and her granddaughter has never learned. Through their journey, Tenfa invites us to reflect on the erosion of landscape, culture, and memory.
“Offically selected for IFFLA 2026”
Auto Queens
In a quest to assert their identities as women auto-rickshaw drivers, Mohana and Leela Rani navigate the heavily male-dominated streets of Chennai. Their personalities collide and unite while they lead a mobility revolution consisting of an army of women drivers.
