Papertrails - A documentary film on Kagzipura Handmade Paper
Kagzipura is a small hamlet, located between Daultabad Fort and the Ellora Caves in Aurangabad district of Maharashtra. As one ascends the hill from Daulatabad on the way to Ellora caves through a series of curvilinear drives, one comes across this quaint village nestled between three lakes and a few hills. Handmade paper making started here as an essential support to the Deccan capital “Daulatabad” in the 14th century. It continued to flourish during the Mughal period especially when Prince Aurangzeb became Viceroy of the Deccan in 1636 and renamed the city Aurangabad.
In this film, we have documented the beautiful work of artisans and requested to government to support to realize the potential of this village & restore the paper-making craft of this village. We are grateful to Sneha Baksi for her unconditional support throughout the shooting. Dipnendu, for handing the big data and co-ordination.
