Shilpi Gupta

Filmmaker/Journalist

<p>Shilpi Gupta &#8220;http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1514418/&#8221; started her filmmaking career with the award-winning short documentary, <em>When the Storm Came</em> &#8220;http://www.kashmirfilm.com&#8221;, which Shilpi directed, produced, shot and edited while at UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism. The film profiles a village in Kashmir that allegedly survived a mass rape at the hands of the Indian Security Forces and continues to survive the stigma that haunts it, culminating with a stark reminder that rape has been used as a tool of war across the world throughout time. Her first film, <em>When the Storm Came</em> screened at festivals across the country and won nine awards to date, including the <strong>2004 Sundance Film Festival jury prize</strong> for short-filmmaking, a student <strong>Oscar</strong> from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and two College Television Awards from the <strong>Academy of Television Arts and Sciences</strong>. <br /> Shilpi continues to work on numerous projects in various capacities, from editing a feature-length documentary about a boy wonder who started a resistance magazine while living in a Czech ghetto during World War II, to co-producing a dramatic feature about the aftermath of September 11 on the Afghan community in Queens, to shooting in the conflict territory across the Burma-Thai border.</p>
