To Miss The Woods curated by Abhishek Nilamber at Cinelogue, a space for film curation, global streaming, and critical dialogue around cinema, representation, and politics by presenting cinema by the Global Majority.

Cinema might have originated in the West, but in South Asia it is domesticated and venerated. Bolly, Lolly, Tolly, Kolly, and other woods of the region have thrived, conforming to and even amplifying the social hierarchies and cultural hegemonies of the region, namely caste, class, religion, languages, clan, aesthetics, and geography, among others. Yet the cinematic expressions that did not conform to this hegemony were bereaved of a wider exposure.

To Miss The Woods invites the audience to literally ‘miss the woods for the trees’ and explore the diverse cinematic flora that has emerged beyond the defined woods. We present to you a bouquet of films from South Asia that are a labor of love and are made with care for community rather than the market. We hope that this selection will inspire and challenge the audience to reimagine the South Asian cinemascape.

The films:
