These Are Not My Images (neither there nor here) (2000)

"These Are Not My Images" follows a jaded Western filmmaker on a journey with a visually impaired guide, leading to a meeting with a local filmmaker in a surreal road movie set in the near future. The film explores the multifaceted concept of "place"—location, territory, context, and home—examining themes of belonging and displacement, identity, connection, and separation, as well as the dynamics between "first" and "Third" world perspectives. Shot in Tamil Nadu, the film blends documentary footage with painterly visuals created through both digital and analog techniques, referencing various forms of image-making including painting, photography, film, and video.
