Camera Mischief?
The pseudonym Denis Kaufman chose, Dziga Vertov, suggests in Russian a kind of perpetually spinning top or, in human terms, a Whirling Dervish. This seems quite appropriate given the energy level of his most famous film. Chelovek's kinoapparatom (The Man with a Movie Camera) (1929) is generally considered his masterpiece, and to some it is the high-water mark of cinematic imagination and purity. Eisenstein called the film “unmotivated camera mischief”.
The term embodies a cinematic language that is playful and energetic, unafraid to color outside the lines when needed.

Camera Mischief?
Camera Mischief?
An artist-filmmaker from Mumbai, India. She discovered filmmaking as her primary medium while studying at the Srishti School of Art, Design & Technology in Bangalore, India.
Her interests lie in affect based narratives and investigating the constantly mutating position of an artist/filmmaker. Experimentation in documentary, art in public space, animation and writing, are her modus operandi. She recently graduated from the Masters programme in Film/Media Art at the Kunsthochschule für Medien/ Academy of Media Arts in Cologne, Germany, where she was refining her documentary practices while reframing existing approaches and formats.

Radha Mohini Prasad
A filmmaker who studied at the Srishti School of Art, Design & Technology & at the Sarajevo Film Academy in Bosnia.
She grew up in Kalimpong, India, a remote town in the Himalayas, which in the past century has been the scene of many migrations. She herself is a product of two such migrations: her great grandparents themselves came from Uttar Pradesh in North India and from Okhaldhunga and Ilam in Eastern Nepal. Her place of birth and its circumstances have greatly influenced and shaped her work. Memory, a love for literature and the archive color the liminal spaces of her work.
