Bounded-Boundless (2008)
Kabir was a 15th century mystic poet of north India who defied the boundaries between Hindu and Muslim.

Chalo Hamara Des (2008)
A journey in search of the “des” (country) invoked in the poetry of Kabir, a 15th century Indian mystic, this film interweaves the stories of two people from two very different countries – Indian folk singer Prahlad Tipanya and North American scholar Linda Hess. Where is Kabir’s country? The answer is elusive, as we journey through song and poem into these two lives, brought together in an unlikely friendship by the cross-cultural resonance of Kabir.

Meera, Who Is Krishna To You After All? (2022)
This film is part of a Lockdown Film Series called Ajab Mulakaatein, an attempt by the Kabir Project and our friends to travel and meet in wondrous ways despite the odds of the pandemic and its many lockdowns. We made online and some offline excursions into the villages of Rajasthan, Kutch, and Malwa to connect with singers and seekers who have kept the legacy of Meera alive in their singing.

Koi Sunta Hai: Journeys with Kumar and Kabir (2008)
Interweaving the folk music traditions of the mystic poet Kabir with the life and music of the late Indian classical singer Kumar Gandharva, this film searches for that elusive sound, that "jhini si awaaz", that Kabir urges us to hear. Where does it resonate, that subtle sound? Journeying between folk and classical, oral and written, rural and urban expressions of this 15th century mystic poet of north India, the film finds moments of both continuity and rupture between these disparate worlds.

Kabira Khada Bazaar Mein (2009)
Kabir sang his poems in the market place, his spirituality firmly grounded in the public square. 600 years after his time, this 15th century Indian mystic poet’s legacy can be found in both spaces – sacred and secular. This film interweaves the deification of Kabir by a religious sect with his secular appropriation by a social activist group. The story unfolds through the life of Prahlad Tipanya, a Dalit singer whose participation in both domains begins to raise difficult questions for him about ritual and organized religion.
