Until now I’m still reminiscing my four glorious days at the enchanting palace up in Rajasthan, watching film after film, most of which were nicely done while others needed improvement, with matching hot and spicy indian food to go. As a development worker cum film enthusiast (though a “dummy” in filmmaking) cum “budding” social scientist, I am simply amazed at the power of films to depict the interconnection between sexuality and socio-cultural issues affecting the southeast asia region. Thus, I hope the FOD community will find ways and means of sharing most of the films shown during the event to the larger communities of researchers, social scientists, filmmakers, development policymakers and others whose academic scholarships and professional pursuits are geared towards increasing people’s awareness and raising their consciousness about pressing issues and problems that have impeded people’s development and societal transformation.
