Kautik International Film Festival
Sumanth Bhat’s Mithya wins the Film Critics Circle of India award for Best Screenplay
Jury members — Saibal Chatterjee, Deepa Gahlot, & Aseem Chhabra
Gothic romance, blended with elements of horror that explores the consequences of control, the repression of desires, and the trials and tribulations of love. Multiple aspects of passion, both benevolent and parasitic, are explored, and the extremities of desire are addressed through the predicament of the characters. Nosferatu may be read as a feminist text, where the female protagonist becomes the driving force of the narrative, both as a subject and an object. She is not only an object of desire, but also a subject that desires.
ICONIC
youth AUTEUR
the Angel of Jazz
God’s Own Child, the Angel of Jazz, Angelina Jordan, won Norway’s Got Talent at the age of 8. She always sings barefoot, in remembrance of a street child to whom she gifted her shoes and who, in return, wished her all the best in conquering the world stage. She will. And soon. The universe is on her side.
Angelina’s auteur signature is a sweet, raspy voice with a wide vocal range soaked in old school Blues, Soul, and Jazz that renders classically with grammatic precision; consequently, her note progression has the texture of a crystal-pure digital film, bereft of the beautifully imperfect silver grains that lend 35mm cinema its esoteric feel.
Her purity is her greatest failing. The precise time she would arrive on earth would be when, like the enlightened KL Saigal’s in his later days, her notes liberate themselves from the rulebook, and wander into the other realm.
