Lahe Lahe, Indiranagar will be screening Garo Hills Ni A'chik Songrang / Villages of Garo Hills, a documentary by Abhishek Udaykumar about the way of life of farmers in Garo Hills, Meghalaya. The screening will be followed by a discussion with the audience and the filmmaker about his intention for the film, documentaries and different styles of filmmaking.  

The film was shot over 6 months and follows the lives of three villagers in different parts of Garo Hills from the monsoon to the winter. It begins by a river where the nearby villagers are busy at work in the water. Later in the winter, when the river dries up, the villagers grow winter crops which they sell through the spring and summer. The stories in the film discover their domestic lives, relationships and unique livelihoods. A large portion of the film is set in the Bangladesh border.

A narrative of candid conversations, visceral long takes, memoirs and journeys across the landscape – this film recalls a purity in documentary filmmaking with its neorealist, novelistic form.
