FILM

One of Kaul’s very first short documentaries, expressing sorrow about the disappearance of traditional art forms with the advent of industrialized production processes. Co-scripted with painter Akbar Padamsee, the film features themes that would also show up in his later works.

“All my life I have tried to find different ways to do away with linear narrative. That is why I was interested in documentaries … In my own way I have tried to bring poetry, documentary and fiction together. We could call it non-linear narrative. I have a great disdain for the linear narrative that exists, even if it is complex, even if there are many characters, even if it has a large canvas …” (MK)
