UN CERTAIN REGARD - Chauthi Koot, interview with Gurvinder Singh

the 15.05.2015 at 9:00 AM

Improvisation, and the unexpected, is how the cinema of Gurvinder Singh could be defined. In Chauthi Koot, we are plunged into the atmosphere of the Punjab after the assassination of Indira Gandhi, the former Prime Minister, in the 1980s. At this point in time, caught between the violence of the army and the coercion of the Sikh militants, two stories, two trajectories merge.
