ARTISANS' presents a trio of films by Indian filmmaker and photographer, Anaal Shah. Ladakh Dairy, Chalchitra - Railyatra; and Kalaripayattu are linked together in their exploration of tangible and metaphysical borders.

Shah straddles multiple cultures in his academic and creative work. From cinema verite, to the use of archival footage and essayistic styles, Shah's storytelling creates a connection between the content and visuals, allowing the viewer to interpret the parallels of these cinematic thresholds.

Shah's films have been shown at numerous festivals,including a premiere at the Vienna International Film Festival, and most recently UnionDocs, NYC.
