May Screening

This May, IIHS Screens returns with the documentary Kadubai. Directed by Omeya Anand, the film follows Kadubai, a Dalit woman artist navigating the fragile line between survival and meaning.

Film Synopses

Kadubai is a documentary that examines the layered realities of a Dalit woman artist whose voice carries the weight of resistance, yet whose life remains precarious. Rooted in the emancipatory philosophy of B. R. Ambedkar and inspired by the heterodox traditions of Gautama Buddha, the film situates Kadubai’s life within a broader struggle for dignity, recognition, and existence.

About the Director

Omeya Anand is a filmmaker and cultural practitioner associated with Nijaat Productions. His work focuses on documenting marginalised communities, anti-caste movements, and alternative cultural histories in India. His films explore questions of identity, dignity, and resistance, often foregrounding voices excluded from mainstream narratives.
