In a police station in Kerala, Chandran is arrested and awaits his turn on the bench as the police attempt to frame him for the deaths of two stray dogs near a butcher shop. The senior police officer keeps piling on more charges from the penal code, and the motive behind his actions appears increasingly personal. Chandran's phone incessantly rings, and the officer glimpses a photo of a young woman (Meenu) on the caller ID. The senior civil police officer overhears Chandran's address and decides to excuse himself from duty. As Shankara Pillai is about to leave, Chandran discloses that "she" is eight months pregnant, and he was at the butcher shop to purchase mutton for her. Shankara Pillai departs, instructing his subordinate to release Chandran after some time. On his way out, he stops by a shop to buy a mutton dish. When he opens his wallet, we catch sight of a photo of a young Meenu inside it.

She is a storyteller at heart and has the ability to deal with complex subjects in a nuanced way allowing for textured interpretation. She has written and directed “Lost Kings of Israel” (National Geographic), “Divine Delinquents” (National Geographic), several episodes on the long-running series “Digging for the Truth” (History Channel), episodes on the series “Into the Unknown” (Discovery Channel), an episode on “Monster Fish” (National Geographic) and several others notable productions. Priya was one of the six people chosen from all over India as a part of a screenwriter’s lab organized by the National Film Development Corporation where she received an opportunity to evolve her story for Chuskit under the mentorship of award-winning Dutch writer Jolein Laarman. DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT Conversations with my sister, Vidya, sowed the seeds for my film ‘Chuskit’. Vidya has worked with the differently abled in Ladakh for almost a decade. She was instrumental in sending Sonam, a nine-year-old with cerebral palsy to school despite the arduous terrain in her remote Himalayan village. While working with Sonam, Vidya learnt of other such children who yearned to lead as normal a childhood as they could. Their stories were filled with pathos and hardships, yet not one of the children gave up their quest to go to school. That is why I shaped Chuskit’s character to be unrelenting and gave her the spunk to triumph over adversity. For most children outside the West, life as a differently abled person is tough at best and excruciatingly hard at worst. My wish is that a small measure of hope and inspiration stays with the audiences when they walk away from my film. CREDITS Editor Jabeen Merchant Jabeen Merchant has been editing films for 23 years.

PRESENTED AT Tickets DFW Area Sunday, Aug 5th 2018 @ 3:30pm Angelika Film Center, Plano TX Bengali Film Festival of Dallas BUY TICKETS DIRECTOR'S BIOGRAPHY - PRAKASH BHARADWAJ Prakash Bharadwaj is a multi talented actor from theatre, TV and film background in India. He has several credits of plays, TV series and films to his name. In 2017, Bharadwaj forayed into screenwriting and direction with his short film ‘Rishta’ and feature length ‘Colours of Life’. He has been working with filmstar Aamir Khan since 2006 in the film 'Rang De Basanti', and proudly claims to be the reason behind Amir’s impeccable Haryanvi accent in ‘Dangal’ blockbuster hit. Amir Khan appointed him as his personal dialogue couch on noticing Bharadwaj’s artistry. It’s more than a decade now, together they had worked on films like Talaash, Dhobi Ghat, Ghajni, and the forthcoming Thugs of Hindostan. DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT The lifestyles of urban Indians are lacking genuine human interaction and emotions. Colours of Life is relevant for this message, especially for the younger generation. The film tries to explore the impact of this in our personal lives and extend to which it can damage our relationships. It also portrays the ongoing social debate – ‘pro-life’ vs. ‘pro-choice’ debate that is pertinent in the milieu of women empowerment in India. The film does not shy away from intriguing bold steps of portraying women as sole owner of their mind and body. The two women boldly live their life – as single mother who lost her husband and her twenty-year old daughter fighting an unwanted pregnancy. By incorporating psychiatric help in the form of home-based therapy not only humanizes the characters, but also normalizes the taboo regarding treatment of suicidal individuals. It is emotionally intense exploring various shades of contemporary lives.

Erratic and receding rainfall has led many farmers into debt traps set out as loans offered by banks. Unable to grow food grain anymore and to escape repayments, the only way out is sacrificing their own life and committing suicide. In Dark Wind, the blind father of a farmer fears his depressed son may do the same. Ruthless in his ways to repossess loans, a bank agent arrives with a growing list of suicides attributed to him. People call him a ‘god of death’. The father finds his son’s life threatened by the failure of his crops and the mounting pressure of bank repayment. Each wanting to save their own family, they end up helping one another. Human emotions take over inhuman realities of climate change. Embroiled together, their fates tremble under the pressure of two extreme weather conditions. Dark Wind is not just fiction - it’s an eye-opening portrayal of the suffering of people and it is a wake-up call for the society still unprepared to face the consequences of their actions on climate change.
