Woman Director Drama

Around India with a Movie Camera

Director: Sandhya Suri

Year: 2017

Drawn exclusively from the BFI National Archive, 'Around India' features some of the earliest surviving film from India as well as gorgeous travelogues, intimate home movies and newsreels from British, French and Indian filmmakers. Director Sandhya Suri weaves together archive footage to create an emotionally resonant story about life across India from 1899 to 1947. Taking in Maharajas and Viceroys, fakirs and farmhands and personalities such as Sabu and Gandhi, the film explores not only the people and places of over 70 years ago, but asks us to engage with broader themes of a shared history, shifting perspectives in the lead up to Indian independence and the ghosts of the past. <br /> The film also features a superb new score that fuses western and Indian music from composer and sarod player Soumik Datta.
