From A Thin Wall cinematographer Mithun Gomes: We felt honoured to be a part of the seminar on “India @ 70: Memories & Histories” organised by the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. We screened our documentary film, A Thin Wall, to a lovely and receptive audience who presented us with many interesting thoughts and questions after the screening. Our short stay at the campus was quite a treat, especially the brief and insightful visit to the detention centre, where some very valuable historical markers have been carefully preserved. We couldn’t have asked for a better beginning to the year. Looking forward to more such opportunities for screenings and #dialogues. A Thin Wall is the result of a lasting collaboration between Mara Ahmed and Surbhi Dewan, who came together to create this detailed account of the survivors of the IndoPak partition.
