Notable Projects:
In 2002, Video Image produced a six-film documentary series “Silent Voices” that promotes the right to be different from one's dominant environment. The series was filmed in India and Pakistan, outlining stories about exiled Afghan musicians in Peshawar, an outcast painter from Lahore, dying fisher community of Makran coast, story about the city of Mumbai, island of Diu and the exiled Tibetan society in Dharamsala.

In 2003, Video Image produced a documentary on human-elephant conflict on the Island, describing the magnitude of the problem as well as efforts being done to enable survival of Sri Lankan elephants.

In 2005 Video Image was part of truly unique documentary series. Titled "Children of Tsunami" the documentaries were an Asia Pacific regional communications initiative that tracked how ordinary people rebuilt their lives and livelihoods after the devastation of the Asian tsunami of December 2004.

Eight children were used as a microcosm of the Asian recovery process following one of the worst natural disasters of recent memory. The four most highly affected countries - Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand were documented, with Video Image covering the Sri Lankan segment.
