My SDI

Join SDI Director Noe Mendelle in conversation with director and producer Samarth Mahajan, based in India, who will discuss the challenges of making his latest documentary, Borderlands.

Borderlands, which was pitched at Edinburgh Pitch 2020, and is about to be premiered at DOK.Fest, is an intimate exploration of how everyday lives intertwine with personal and political borders in the Indian subcontinent.

Supported by one of the largest ever crowdfunding campaigns for an Indian film, Borderlands featured as a work-in-progress at the 2020 Marché du Film - the business counterpart of the Cannes Film Festival.
