Experiencing Interruptions?

Utsav

A village fair organised by an NGO in the middle of a small village in Rajasthan becomes a hub for entertainment, education, and fun and is a platform to connect folk entertainment to its true audience . Capturing the essence of the fair in an observational way, the film is made single handedly by the film maker with the use of minimal resources.

The film for me is a study of the spirit and nature of a mela- a cultural carnival. It is my first film in the "Understanding Folk" series.
