Replying to @rajcheerfull
Everyone’s talking about #SitaareZameenPar and the powerful spotlight it puts on neurodivergent and differently abled individuals. One organisation that’s been quietly doing remarkable work in this space for years is @ADAPTMumbai, founded by the visionary Dr. #MithuAlur ! Let’s take a moment to acknowledge and amplify the real changemakers too. 🙏

Disability has been part of my life since when I was young. A classmate and a colony friend - we were friends without noticing the difference, but understanding that I can support them in certain ways when needed.

Being an actor exposed me to a world different from mine, when I explored to act as a blind person, a mute person, a mother of a spastic child and a mother of a teenager with Cerebral Palsy.

"Inclusive casting for films still has a long way to go for us. When we speak about disability and inclusion, the conversation cannot be black and white.

Just as all good films are gray, inclusive casting for cinema is also equally gray and I am glad that we have initiatives like ASFF that will bring together industry experts and future storytellers to have this conversation.

Idea of Inclusion isn’t only about telling stories of struggle that people with disability face. It’s as much about making differently able characters part of narratives for reasons beyond triumph and sympathy.

ASFF is an exciting platform to introduce cinema with a conscience to students of film and design. This will widen their horizon and give the viewer a chance to widen theirs. @nanditadas , Indian Actress and Film Maker

Inclusivity is the term to reckon with in today’s time. Films as a medium has a far reach and not always it should be considered only as a tool of entertainment.

With a film festival like this, I feel film makers will be encouraged to tell stories which probably do not get a chance in the popular culture. As a Casting Director and a film enthusiast, I hope we get to witness some great talent coming out of this space.

At the heart of cinema, acting, and the performing and visual arts lies the power of imagination, emotions, and empathy.

Through my experiences over the past few years, working with visually impaired children, it has become evident that these children possess these qualities in abundance, often even more than their sighted counterparts.

The world around us, especially in recent years, is increasingly developing a distinct kind of apathy towards fellow humans, animals, nature - alike. It's a pandemic of sorts that we are grappling with.

So the urgency to create environments and spaces which enable people to experience empathy, and compassion - is now higher than ever.
