Speak to my Televisnu @Streetlight

Various Short Films

As some really nice short films came up we decided to finish our festival with this selection.

Televisnu
Televisnu is a surreal tale of a young Indian women who works at a call center. Her computer breaks down and in an attempt to fix it she falls into a magical, mythical web of electronic wires where memories, secrets, and hidden desires reveal themselves.
• Script, Director: Prithi Gowda • USA/India 2010 • 15 min. • Hindi/English with English subtitles

Ustad Abdul Halim Jaffer Khan
A small biographical film based on the sitar maestro Ustad Abdul Halim Jaffer Khan. He lives in Bandra and is eighty years old. Together with the other two giants of sitar – Pandit Ravishankar and Ustad Vilayat Khan, he blazed the Indian Classical instrumental music circuit for over four decades.
Ustadji is a very well read man and has great insights to offer on music and religion – two of his pet subjects. With his dazzling artistry, a great sense of humour, and a generous personality, Ustad Abdul Halim Jaffer Khan is an unforgettable musician. A true representation of the Indian spirit.
• Script, Director: Nagnath Mankeshwar • India 2009 • 19 min. • Hindi/English with English subtitles

Street Light is a touching story about an electrical fault in a residential area. The electricity department is receiving calls every day about an electrical fault that needs to be fixed. Finally when the electrician arrives, he is in for a surprise, the man you initiated the complaint has reasons which are not easy to understand?
