Mr.K.P Sasi started working as a cartoonist while being a student in JNU during the late seventies. He started experimenting with films on 8mm during the early eighties. His documentaries include `A Valley Refuses to Die', `We Who Make History' `Living in Fear', `In the Name of Medicine' and `Voices from a Disaster'. His feature films include Ilayum Mullum', on the social and psychological violence on women in Kerala, `Ek Alag Mausam' and `Shhh...Silence Please', a silent comedy film on development. His films have been screened and awarded at several national and international film festivals.

In times when documentarists are making eulogistic corporate films and government-sponsored documentaries, there are people who are willing to bear the cross and carry it all alone. Documentarist and filmmaker K P SASI is one of them. No wonder he calls himself, “…an activist first and then a filmmaker.” Known for his incisive analysis, Sasi’s works explores the socio-economic contradictions and collision between the commercial interests and the lives of masses as well as the socio-ecological issues that crop up in the name of ‘development’.
