अकाद-MIC podcast series emerged out of a casual conversation among faculty members of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD) over individual journeys that shaped their academic trajectories. What emerged out of this lunch meeting on a rainy day in August 2024 was a fascinating auto-ethnographic exchange in a storytelling fashion that went beyond the usual narrative of academic life. Thus, the possibility of initiating a podcast series that can document the shaping of such dimensions, encounters, initiatives, experiments, or relatively obscure experiences in the life of an academic emerged.

    Imagining the Idea of Film Archives

    In this episode, Lawrence Liang and Vebhuti Duggal discuss two digital film platforms, pad.ma and indiancine.ma, within the larger context of thinking about archives in the digital era. Moving between traditional notions of state-run archives and the proliferation of non-state archives, the discussion examines issues ranging from cultural infrastructure to the specific affordances of the digital study of film, and considers what it means to extend an open-source ethos into the realm of academic tools and methodologies. Vebhuti Duggal teaches film studies at the School of Culture and Creative Expressions, Dr BR Ambedkar University Delhi. Recently, she has co-edited Film Studies: An Introduction (2022) and Punjab Sounds: In and Beyond the Region (2024). She is currently working on her book manuscript on cinema-oriented listening cultures in India. Lawrence Liang teaches at the School of Legal and Socio-Political Studies, Dr BR Ambedkar University Delhi. He works on the intersection of law, culture and technology, and is one of the co-founders of Pad.ma and indiancine.ma in collaboration with Camp (Mumbai) and Pirate Cinema (Berlin).
