The making of cinema occurs with ordinary objects, and the filmmakers are the ones who make the culture happen,” says Karan Talwar, founder, Harkat Studios, while revealing about This Object From That, a crowd-sourced exhibition that aims to immortalise ordinary objects from film sets. Cinema has always been a site of preservation — of people, of history and of memory. The exhibition is part of the Alti Palti Film Festival, a month-long festival dedicated to bringing independent art and artists to the forefront with the intent to preserve the cinema-set, where the memory-making happens.
