The intriguing style with its many rough edges, possibly emerging from the ‘Cinema of Prayoga’ conversations, allows for something of the located experiences it seeks to record to come through.
Vakratunda Swaha
Director
In 1997, Ashish Avikunthak filmed a sequence -- a friend and artist, Girish Dahiwale, immersing an idol of Ganesha at Chowpati beach, Bombay on the last day of the Ganapati festival. A year later, he committed suicide. After twelve years, Avikunthak completed the film. Using his footage as the leitmotif, this film is a requiem to a dead friend, and metamorphosises into an “existential inquiry into the idea of death”.
