While Mumbai is the heart centre of commercial film production in India, one finds many documentary filmmakers in Delhi. That’s probably because Delhi is a centrally located gateway to a wide range of destinations, heritage sites, historical locations and pilgrimage centres. In short, Delhi takes you to places that have stories – and that’s what documentary film production is all about: stories… stories that educate, inform and engage… stories that stir passion and emotions… stories that empower.

Documentary filmmakers aren’t just film makers – they are storytellers, recreating in a new medium the ancient art of weaving tales. A documentary film maker uses digital films as his or her canvas for narrating a great story… a compelling story… a story that must be told. The world of documentary filmmaking is filled with inspiring examples of how landmark documentary films have helped in shaping opinions on burning topics like war, oppression, terrorism, trafficking, racism and environmental depredation in particular, and the human condition in general. Indeed, a documentary film can be an eye-opener, a game changer and a powerful catalyst of public opinion.
