The written profile
See screeningsEvery autumn, a small mountain town becomes a film capital for four days. Renu has been building that festival - and the year-round archive behind it - for longer than most visitors have known the town exists.
The archive room is the real story: shelves of tapes, hard drives, and festival posters that together hold a parallel history of the region on screen.
She measures success in a specific way: how many local kids pick up a camera the year after the festival.
“Mountains photograph well. What we screen is everything the postcard leaves out.”
