IDSFFK 2026 Spotlights 'Going Solo' as Ameya Gore Reframes Sports Documentary Storytelling

At IDSFFK 2026, filmmaker Ameya Gore is drawing attention for his documentary 'Going Solo,' a film that follows cyclists Gareema Shankar and Renu Singhi on their 2022 ride to the London-Edinburgh-London event. Produced by Sharib Khan and Vikas Kumar, the project positions endurance sport not as a niche athletic pursuit but as a lens on discipline, gender, and personal resolve. The film arrives at a moment when Indian documentary filmmaking is increasingly expanding beyond conventional social subjects, with Gore using the sports format to test how far observational storytelling can go without losing emotional depth or journalistic rigor.
