WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT? (30 min) Directed by Bharath Murthy Synopsis This film is about a video called 'Mysore Mallige’ that caused some
flutter a few years ago. A couple shot themselves having sex, and the
video got leaked into the porn circuit. While pornographic videos are
commonplace, what made this video unusual was that it was not made for
commercial exploitation. It was an amateur video, and one among the
first. Soon amateur sex videos started springing up everywhere. This
film tries to understand this phenomenon, and the role of sexual images
in our lives.
