  • "Documentaire. Tourné sans commentaire, Photo Wallahs nous entraine dans les rues, les bazars, les magasins, les studios de photographies et chez des particuliers. Laissant la parole aux photographes locaux, connus sous le nom de "photo wallahs", qui nous présentent leurs travaux et leurs approches diffférentes de ce qui est pour eux tout autant un métier qu'un art et qu'une passion, ce film dresse un passionant panorama de l'histoire de la photographie à Mussoorie, mais surtout de ses multiples significations. S'il est évident que la photographie en Inde se caractérise par des particularités culturelles qui lui ,sont propres, les multiples formes sous lesquelles elle s'est développée, ainsi que ses usages nous renvoient plus généralement à la nature et à la signification de la photographie à travers le monde.

  • "This film focuses on the photographers of Mussoorie, in the foothills of northern India, in order to explore the many meanings of photography as art and social artifact - a medium of reality, fantasy and desire. The Mussoorie photographers' fame has attracted tourists since the 19th century. The filmmakers' intention was to make a film that does not simply circumscribe meaning in order to deliver a statement but to productively open up complex networks of relationships (see also, for example, Gary Kildea's Valencia Diary): 'We want it to be a resource for a range of observations, ideas and possibilities' (David MacDougall)."
