We’re delighted to announce that A Winter that Burned Delhi: Silent Screams and Broken Promises of 1984, shot and directed by Rahul Milind, a Krea alumnus from the SIAS Cohort of 2023 as part of his History Capstone Thesis, has been awarded a Special Jury Mention for Best Documentary Feature Film at the 16th Jaipur International Film Festival 2024.
This was Rahul’s first-ever film festival entry. Out of the 329 nominated films from a total of 63 countries, 64 films were awarded, and Rahul’s documentary was one of them, under the documentary feature and student category.
Taking an ethnographic approach, his documentary film looks at the events of 1984 in Punjab and Delhi through the lens of collective memory and generational trauma. It was made under the mentorship of Dr Prithvi Datta Chandra Shobhi, Dean and Associate Professor of History, SIAS, Krea University, and Professor Ramachandra Guha, Distinguished University Professor, Krea University.
Rahul acknowledges that their role has been crucial in the entire journey and extends his gratitude to the faculty of SIAS who encouraged and supported his vision.
Congratulations!
