Saturday Late Afternoon 2

Sadaknama is a poetic road documentary that travels alongside Punjabi Sikh truck drivers, exploring the rhythms, struggles, and quiet philosophies of men who live perpetually on the move, carrying not just cargo, but the weight of memory, culture, and longing between home and the endless highway.

This documentary traces the 1783 conquest of Delhi's Red Fort by Sikh forces led by Baghel Singh, Jassa Singh Ahluwalia, and Jassa Singh Ramgarhia, and the compromise that followed, which led to the founding of Delhi's historic gurudwaras. Featuring historians and religious leaders, the film follows the story from the Golden Temple to the Red Fort, culminating in the annual march commemorating this historic Sikh victory.

This short documentary explores the life and work of Subhash Parihar, a photographer, art-historian and chronicler of Punjab's architectural heritage, tracing his journey from Kotakpura to becoming an internationally recognised scholar and visual documentarian of Indo-Islamic and Sikh architectural monuments.

Echoes of Panjab journeys through the villages and towns of Punjab, capturing the voices and performances of folk artists who have kept these centuries-old traditions alive. From the soulful Ki'se singers who recount epic tales, to the lively nakalam performers blending humour and theatre, and the powerful kavisari reciters, the film paints a vivid portrait of a culture's living history.
