Club Screening - "ROAD TO LADAKH" |

Ashwin
Kumar |
| Cast |
-
|
Irfan,
Koel Purie |
| After
his spectacular international award winning film, The Warrior, Irfan
and Koel Purie among others from the cast of Ashwin Kumar's film.
This is a weird and whacky rites of passage encounter between a dysfunctional,
coke-snorting fashion model and an ultra-focused, strong silent stranger
who are thrown together by chance into the magnificent wilderness
of Ladakh. Both are outsiders, both are lonely, both crave the human
contact that their roles in society deny them. Tentatively they search
each other out in a film that is exquisitely poised on a knife-edge
between elusiveness and engagement, suspicion and tenderness. Followed
by a panel discussion with Ashwin Kumar & Irfan.
Moderated by Shomit Mitter. |
| Collab:
British Council. (55 mins., 35 mm). Adult Viewing |
