ARCHANA BORHADE
Key credits: Ashes on a Road Trip (aka Karkhanisanchi Waari), Idak: The
Goat, Phuntroo, " Closing the Crop Gap " (social campaign)
Awards/Honors: First female cinematographer to win the prestigious
Maharashtra State Award, for the Marathi feature Idak: The Goat, one of
the three features chosen by the Maharashtra government panel to represent
the Marathi film industry at the Cannes Film Festival
Training and education: " My teachers at Mindscreen Institute - Rajiv
Menon, ISC; M.N. Gnanasekaran; and Venkatesh Chakravarty - were
instrumental in shaping my understanding of cinematography. The
most important takeaway from their lectures was that cinematography
should be used in the service of storytelling and not the other way
around. "
Best advice she's received: " From Santosh Sivan, ASC, ISC: 'Never obsess
over the equipment or the lack of it. Some of the best cinematographic
work has been done with absolutely the bare minimum.' "
Recent accomplishments: " I produced, shot and co-wrote my latest film,
Ashes on a Road Trip [aka Karkhanisanchi Waari], a quirky comedy about
a dysfunctional joint Indian family taking an eventful road trip to fulfill
the last wishes of its recently deceased patriarch. It was the only Indian
film to be selected for a world premiere at the 33rd Tokyo International
Film Festival. Thereafter it was selected for film festivals in Shanghai,
London, Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, Stuttgart and others, and it
continues to travel the festival circuit. Though I couldn't travel with the
film due to pandemic restrictions, I am grateful for all the heartwarming
messages I received from the patrons of the film, who said that they
identified with the characters and conflicts portrayed and felt like they
were watching their own family onscreen. "
Current project: " I'm pitching a feature film and a web series that I cowrote
and intend to shoot. I am also in conversations to direct and shoot
an indie science-fiction film. "
Important career initiative: " I'm part of the Indian Women Cinematographers'
Collective [IWCC]. We are a group of craftswomen/technicians
from the film industry who have come together to provide a platform for
showcasing our work and encourage budding talent. The team members
share their experiences, discuss technical equipment, and try to resolve
each other's queries. It also serves as a safe, nurturing forum for addressing
any individual concerns or troubles. I am constantly in awe of
the incredible talent in this collective and continue to learn from them
every single day. "
