About the Film: Kamlabai Gokhale was one of the first actors of India, and the first lady of Indian cinema. The film follows conversations with Kamlabai as she talks about her present, past and her future through photographs, enactments from a play, and music from the beginning of this century. Kamlabai offers a unique and rarely explored perspective of the history of Indian cinema and theatre as experienced by a woman who struggled against the social structures of her times.
About the Filmmaker: REENA MOHAN is an award winning documentary filmmaker and editor who has worked out of Dubai, India, Kathmandu and London. She has edited several features, television serials and over 50 documentaries, many of which have been screened at international film festivals and received critical acclaim.
She produced and directed her landmark debut documentary KAMLABAI in 1991 and has, till now, scripted and directed 10 non-fiction films that reveal a passionate engagement with people’s lives and issues of filmmaking.

ABOUT THE KRITI FILM CLUB: This is an educational initiative of a not-for-profit organisation 'Kriti team'. We curate, screen and share documentary films on development, environment, and socially relevant issues, in an effort to positively influence mindsets and behaviour towards creating an equitous, just, and peaceful world. We also curate issue-based film festivals and organise documentary film shows in neighbourhoods, communities, schools, colleges, or institutions on request and otherwise. The Kriti Film Club has been screening documentaries regularly and independently (without any funding) in Delhi NCR since 2000 and in Mumbai since 2019, and online (Doculive.blogspot.com) since 2020, to promote 'thought-provoking cinema' #impactcinema
