Anyone with even a passing interest in India shouldn't miss this collection of cinematic postcards from the subcontinent. Spanning the first half of the 20th century up to 1947's partition, the festival's entries are drawn from the BFI National Archive and present eclectic snapshots of the region from Ceylon to Calcutta. Subject matter includes sword dances, a school visit by a Salvation Army commissioner, kerosene-tin recycling, a fishing trip and an elephant procession — plus a chronicle of Gandhi's visit to Noakhali after the 1946 riots, shot by his great-nephew Kanu.
