A Season Outside 1997 ( 3.5)

Amar Kanwar’s A Season Outside is a thought provoking quest to investigate the futility or validity of violence. The film employs several codes of conflict and discord—from the territorial border of India and Pakistan to visuals of Tibetan refugee settlement— to satiate the curiosity to posit violence as a credible response to hurt and harm. It questions its worthiness as device to exact revenge on the transgressor.

The Scene of the Crime 2011

Amar Kanwar has been filming the resistance of local communities in the state of Orissa, to the industrial interventions taking place since 1999. In 2010, he returned again to Orissa but this time to film, in particular, the terrain of this devastating conflict. Almost every image in this film lies within specific territories that are proposed industrial sites and are in the process of being acquired by government and corporations in Orissa. In this "war by the state against its own land and people" The Scene of the Crime is an experience of the battleground and the personal lives that exist within a natural landscape.
