Roughcut: Documentaries Held in Their Context
An independent Indian collective presenting documentary films, photography, writing and public conversations about movements, communities and public life.
Field notes
Roughcut organizes its material by medium, with individual film entries carrying dates and running times and photography projects carrying image counts. The visible archive includes films from 1997 through 2021, a 3-minute report from the Singhu border, and longer works such as an 80-minute film about survival. Its stated institutional history names collaborations with movements including the Narmada Bachao Andolan and the National Campaign for People’s Right to Information.
