The right to freedom of expression is one of the best yardsticks with which to measure democracy. But such a right is merely ostensible unless it is put into practice. The eighth Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF/2004) in India was mired in deep controversy. Vikalp : Freedom for Films, a parallel film festival was organised at the same time by nearly 300 documentary filmmakers from various parts of the country to screen films unfairly rejected by the goverment-organised MIFF, or withdrawn voluntarily from the same in solidarity with the filmmakers. They came to fight a censorship clause for the festival and to offer people a choice ... vikalp, an alternative. Included in the reject list were films on communalism, caste, gender, sexuality and the environment, which had already been screened at various international film festivals and won awards. In India the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), also known as the Censor Board of India, decides the fate of the world's largest film factory. But those who make the abovecinema of resistence' in substance boldly use the medium to record and dissect social and political conflict in the country. However hard the situation is, it is a line that the independent documentary filmmakers, whose production is of recent origin, have begun to take with something responsive to the society.
