Festival Of Films From Kashmir: Jashn-E-Azadi - Film By Sanjay Kak: Events in Hyderabad

Jashn-E-Azadi is a 2007 film by Sanjay Kak, in Kashmiri, Urdu and English. Its runtime is 140 minutes.

It's 15th August, India's Independence day, and the Indian flag ritually goes up at Lal Chowk in the heart of Srinagar, Kashmir. The normally bustling square is eerily empty ? a handful of soldiers on parade, some more guarding them, and except for the attendant media crews, no Kashmiris. For more than a decade, such sullen acts of protest have marked 15th August in Kashmir, and this is the point from where Jashn-e-Azadi begins to explore the many meanings of "freedom" ? of "azadi" - in Kashmir.

The film festival is being presented by FD ZONE (Mumbai), in association with Kashmiris In Hyderabad, Moving Images, Documentary Circle Of Hyderabad, Prasad Film Labs, Lamakaan, University of Hyderabad, EFL University, NALSAR University, Annapurna International School of Film + Media & St. Ann's College. The festival will feature documentaries, features, shorts, readings and discussions on Kashmir.

Watch Anti India movie funded by ISI and Hurriyat. This movie should be banned for once and all. How does our love for our country even allow such movies to be made.
