DearCinema completes five years this February. A journey full of ups and downs, yet immensely meaningful and fulfilling, driven by passion and conviction. Similar to the journey of the cause that it supports: the good Indian indie cinema. So here, DearCinema brings to you a few voices that define the Indie scene in India today, ruminating over what independent cinema means to them. Straight from the horse’s mouth. The series begins with Q a.k.a Qaushiq Mukherjee who shook us out of our ennui with ‘Gandu’ and is set to do that again with ‘Tasher Desh’.
There cannot be a definition for independence, whether it is Individualistic, collective or cinematic. Independence is entirely contextual in a postmodern world. What is critical therefore, is to understand where we stand in terms of history of cinema to be able to begin looking at what constitutes the truest spirit of the indie.

Intrigued by the life of this old man she barely knows, she takes the diary with her, and is stunned to learn of his part in the post-wwii British peace-keeping force in what was then Palestine.
Left to her own devices when Eliza begins National Service in the Israeli army, Erin witnesses the complexities of life - for both Jews and Arabs - in this troubled land. And as Len's story comes to life...
