69o Festival del film Locarno | Industry Guide | Alliance for Development
Following a successful pilot project in 2015,
the Locarno Industry Days will present in 2016
the first edition of their new initiative Alliance for
Development. Its concrete aim is to encourage
early stage co-development and long-term organic
cooperation between France, Italy and Germany,
supported by their respective film institutions:
CNC, MiBACT and FFA.
9 projects were chosen among the bilateral codevelopment funds existing between the Centre
national du cinéma et de l’image animée (CNC,
France), the Ministero dei beni e delle attività
culturali e del turismo (MiBACT, Italy) and the
Filmförderungsanstalt (FFA, Germany). Switzerland,
as their natural co-producing partner, hosts this
new annual rendez-vous supported by the Federal
Office of Culture in the context of the MEDIA
compensatory measures. To encourage a stronger
Swiss involvement, 3 Swiss projects looking for
German, French and Italian co-producers were
selected to join the initiative as special guests. The
chosen teams (director/producer) will come to the
Locarno Industry Days to present and discuss their
projects in a tailor-made program, including individual
meetings with potential partners, plenary sessions,
panels, discussions and networking activities. Alliance
for Development is a crossroad for French-, Germanand Italian-language film professionals that allows
them to test their market potential and to find natural
opportunities for early-stage creative and financing
partnerships.
For further information, please consult the Alliance for
Development brochure.

69o Festival del film Locarno | Industry Guide | First Look on Polish Cinema
Magdalena Sroka
General Director of the Polish Film Institute
As representatives of the Polish film industry, we
are honored to be invited to participate in the First
Look programme of the Festival del film Locarno. In
previous years, First Look focused on Latin American
and Israeli cinema; Poland is thus the first European
country to be offered the opportunity to present
its latest works in progress. Our film industry was
chosen as one of the most promising in Eastern
Europe. The festival team has emphasised the
international success that Polish films enjoyed in 2015
— Paweł Pawlikowski's Oscar for Ida and Małgorzata
Szumowska's Silver Bear for Best Director for her work
on Body/Ciało (Body). We appreciate these words of
acclaim.
This year, Polish cinema has new accomplishments
to boast about. Tomasz Wasilewski received a Silver
Bear for Best Screenplay in Berlin. The Sundance juries
recognized first-time director Agnieszka Smoczyńska
and experimental documentary filmmaker Michał
Marczak. First-time filmmakers have certainly become
one of the strongest points of our film industry.
The Polish Film Institute has strived for this since its
inception by offering preferential treatment for firsttimers. It is satisfying to watch a whole generation
of exceptional film directors emerge in Poland. I am
sure that this generation will contribute to European
cinema with its unique artistic vision doubled with
great technical skills.
But the success of Polish cinema does not depend
only on excellent directors and a secure system of
film financing. It is largely the result of the work of
courageous, well-educated and extremely dedicated
Polish producers, who are increasingly interested
in international projects. The Polish Film Institute
supports them in this regard. Earlier this year, the
Polish Film Institute created a new envelope for
minority co-productions. Polish producers have a lot
to offer to their international partners. I encourage
you to network with them and share observations
about the discussed projects. I hope that you will find
the projects presented in Locarno appealing on the
artistic level, as well as on the production side.

The Butler is a love story between a Kashubian boy and a German
aristocrat in a post World War I scenario, where the border line divided
not only the land but also the people: Germans, Kashubians and Poles.
The story goes through four decades revealing the complex attitudes
and choices that locals had to make. Prussian antipathy to Poles fought
with Kashubian patriotism, which in 1939 ended up with a mass murder
committed on thousands of people in Piaśnica. The thread of the story
is about the bond of love, put to proof and tested.

Locarno's annual invitation for a peer to peer exchange
with producers will focus this year on the risks and
opportunities for smaller European countries to
produce successful films internationally, with a focus
on the Danish film market. The Danish Film Institute
abolished automatic funding five years ago, creating
what is now established as a solid market-oriented
model. Claus Ladegaard, Head of Film Funding at
DFI, will present the current scheme and discuss the
selection and funding criteria, as well as the effective
results, along with Danish producer Louise Vesth
(Zentropa Productions). Per Neumann, founder and

opportunities for successful co-productions. The
debate will include a broad scope of themes, including

69o Festival del film Locarno | Open Doors | Exploring South Asia
Year 1 of the South Asian Focus
(Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal)
Be them of centennial tradition or only some decades
old, South Asian cinemas are going through major
transformations, brought by contemporary challenges
and a desire for renewal. The digital revolution calls
for easier access to cinematic expression and rising of
entrepreneurial spirit, with no need to wait for a more
structured and supportive industry to make films.
Over the last ten years, most countries have seen
media and television opening new gateways for funds
into filmmaking. Companies such as Impress Telefilms
(Dhaka) are funding films of varied content targeting
profit from television, including some by Mostofa
Sarwar Farooki, Abu Shahed Emon and Golam Rabbani
Biplob among others.
This year, Open Doors starts a 3-year long
exploration of 8 countries of the region, with a special
focus dedicated in 2016 to Bangladesh, Bhutan,
Myanmar and Nepal. Despite their differences in
specific areas, these countries face similar trials.
New trends also arise from the search for more
creative freedom; crowdfunding has just been
successfully used by the Bhutanese production of
Hema Hema: Sing Me a Song While I Waitt (2016) by
Khyentse Norbu. Turning to partners in Asia (often for
postproduction), USA and Europe increases the
opportunities for the new generation to enjoy an
international career and broaden their artistic
spectrum. Such was the case of the Nepalese The Black
Hen (2015) by Min Bahadur Bham, cofinanced by
France, Germany and Switzerland, which premiered at
Venice Critics’ Week and is being released in several
countries this year.
The many individual or collective initiatives and
artistic developments in all four countries present
unique storytelling ideas and the very formation of a
flourishing creative industry. The independent film
scene is growing, and the numerous projects
received for Open Doors Hub and Lab attest to the
richness of the creative energy at stake, as well as
the emergence of a new wave of young filmmakers
and producers.
If cinema in South Asia is growing fast, it is not quite
considered an industry yet, and the various film
professions are not recognized as such. In most places,
culture does not have its own Ministry. There is no or
little public support for film production, and no
international coproduction treaties. In Bangladesh,
which enjoys the most structured industry among the
focused countries, only 5 to 6 films a year receive
public grants out of the 65 features produced.
Bollywood and purely mainstream films represents
90% of the local production, leaving little space for
creative documentaries or unconventional fictions.
Arthouse feature-length budgets are rather low (from
50'000 to 100’000€) and filmmakers, especially
independent ones, often produce their own films and
raise money from private investors, NGOs (especially
for documentaries), friends, or family. Lack of funding
at the postproduction stage influences the quality of
editing and sound, and sometimes jeopardizes the
completion of films.
326
Yet, in most cases, arthouse films don’t live long on
their domestic screens, mostly due to the competition
of local Bollywood, American and, more recently,
South Korean films, even in Bhutan. Analog
distribution has become even more problematic due
to the decreasing number of cinema venues (25% less
vs. 25 years ago). However the digitalization of
existing theaters has been progressing for the last five
years (50% have digital screens in Bangladesh) and
several countries such as Nepal and Myanmar, witness
a rise in new, privately-funded multiplexes. Still,
arthouse films are mostly distributed in the
alternative, non-commercial circuit thanks to the
supportive collaboration of film and student societies,
museums and foreign institutes giving access to
auditoriums, often having semi-regular programming.
Another important player in non-commercial
distribution and film literacy is festivals; adding to the
existing international events (such as in Dhaka),
several festivals have been created recently (2011),
such as the Wathann Short Festival in Myanmar, Ekha
Deshma in Nepal, or Beskop Festival in Bhutan.
69o Festival del film Locarno | Open Doors | Exploring South Asia
Most festivals are thematic and focus on Human
Rights, Indigenous cinema or film heritage such as the
(Yangon).
While many filmmakers start their career working in
TV, training initiatives are also developing, such as
Clinik.Kathmandu. Several of these are co-designed
by European organisations such as FAMU Burma (CZ),
The Yangon Film School (DE). The Bhutan Film Trust
(NL) promotes the development of film in Bhutan and
provides talented filmmakers with development
funding. These initiatives offer a much-needed bridge
with the limited training provided by the few local film
schools and contribute to the emergence of local
talents, like Burmese filmmaker The Maw Naing (The
Monk, 2014).
So here we are. Open Doors is starting this new
journey together with a delegation of proactive
regional players, encouraging creative and financing
collaborations with international festival guests.
We are pleased to welcome them in Locarno for an
immersion in the European culture and industry,
a premiere for many of them. So, let the magic begin!
Thanks to Henk de Jong, Delphine Jeanneret,
Ram Krishna Pokharel, Abinash Bikram Shah,
Samia Zaman.
Manuel Sager, Director-General
This year, Open Doors is setting itself an entirely new
challenge by focusing for the first time on filmmakers
from eight countries of Southern Asia. Their work
reflects the wide diversity of a region in which
societies are going through a process of change –
between tradition and modernity, city and
countryside, construction and reconstruction.
Such profound political, economic and cultural
changes affect populations and cultural workers alike.
Seeking normality in incertitude, progressing by
sticking to tried and tested methods, questioning
national identity and reality – filmmakers coming from
that part of the world incorporate these processes
into their work.
The Swiss Agency for Development and
Cooperation (SDC) provides support to Open Doors to
create better conditions for the independent cinema
of the guest countries. I would like to thank Festival
del film Locarno for opening the door to the
fascinating region of today’s Southern Asia, even
though – in view of the multiple facets to be
discovered – it may just be a crack.

Open Doors Hub
Open Doors Hub: the co-production platform
The 8 projects selected for Open Doors Hub:
The co-production platform Open Doors Hub (4 – 9
August) aims to encourage the financing of projects
that would be hardly feasible otherwise.
From around a hundred applications received from
South Asia, 8 projects were selected.
The platform offers the projects' directors/
producers an opportunity to have contact with
potential partners, especially those from Europe, via
individual meetings.
A selection of the directors’ previous works will be
available on Festival Scope Pro.
During the first two days, the teams will also
participate in a pitch training workshop run by Sibylle
Kurz.
At the end of the Open Doors Hub's five days of
activities, a number of awards will be attributed by
the Open Doors Jury.

Synopsis
A story told from three intersecting points of view. Saikat (35), an
Indian Bengali Hindu film school teacher and aspiring sound designer
is searching for a new sublet after his roommate evicts him for
bringing back a stray cat. At work, he encounters a projectionist,
Nijamuddin (65), who is looking for a workshop on digital terminology.
Unable to afford the courses, Nijamuddin agrees to become Saikat’s
interview subject in exchange for free tutorials.
However, Saikat loses his recording device in a cinema hall and
abandons the project. The device is found by Salman (17), a Bihari boy
born and raised in the Geneva camp, the largest colony for stranded
Pakistani in Dhaka. Listening to the sounds play from Saikat’s
recording device is the perfect escape from his mundane job
delivering grocery store goods to upper middle class homes across the
city. Meanwhile, Nijamuddin is fired from his job and leaves the
cinema and goes into the streets where the national cricket league is
playing on large screen to cheering fans.

Director‘s Note
I have always been interested in themes such as
undefined relationships, latent power hierarchy,
migrated people, and urban lifestyle. In my first
feature film, I take the challenge to explore these
themes through intersecting stories of marginal
characters who struggle to adapt to the power
structure in contemporary Dhaka.
For me, Dhaka has a complex character beyond
its stereotypes: rickshaws, mosques and muslin;
or loadshedding, traffic jams and noise pollution.
Visually I want to unveil the grayscale between the
hegemonic beauty of Dhaka shown in TV commercial
and formulaic ugliness of underdevelopment found in
NGO- sponsored audiovisuals.
My characters are not chosen to stimulate and
satisfy the mainstream ego — rather I live with them.
They are my close friends, my shadows. I know their
desire, dreams, and depression. Like me, they love
cinema and cats. They feel suffocated to conform
to the mainstream boundaries. And they lose their
legal identities, illegal memories, work permit, sound
recorder, youth and job.
All the protagonists experience the consequences
of migration, feel marginalised somehow, and look
for individual hope to adapt within the new settings.
I want the audience to feel the human appeal behind
their individual struggle.
Saikat’s story was developed out of my work
experience at a local film institute, living with adopted
stray cats, frequent migration within the city and
undefined relationships of power with the authorities.
In Salman’s story, I examine the impact of my
communal pride and national/ historical consciousness
from another side. Also, I wanted to design an
offscreen space through ambient sound — my
obsession.
In Nijamuddin’s story, I portrayed my realisation of
dynamics between old age and youth: how the elderly
are treated to be unnecessary in my society.
Visual Concept
The film's three narratives will be told in a non-linear way.
I want to design the mise-en-scene using long takes,
deep space composition, one point perspective,
eye level framing, blocking with minimum camera
movement so that audience can contemplate in real
time. Ellipsis will be preferred than action continuity.
Saikat's world will be full of visuals. Salman's
perception is full of offscreen sonic ambience.
Nijamuddin's world is full of audiovisuals. There will
be no use of background music, narration, voice over
and visual special effects.
Characters will occasionally break the fourth wall
and confess towards audience.
Born 1983 in Dhaka, Bangladesh, Ishtiaque Zico is a

Synopsis
Three families of different social classes are living on three floors in the
same apartment building in Yangon, Myanmar.
Maung Maung, a young graduate, works as a taxi driver to sustain his
middle- class family and his younger sisters’ education. The whole
family depends on him, but he struggles to earn their living. He aspires
for freedom like other youths but he is trapped by this shameful job...
by his taxi itself, which is his only way of making money, and that he
often has difficulty in parking safely.
From time to time, he carries the following two families on his taxi.
The second story tells a romance between a young homeless orphan
and an experienced high-end prostitute, Ma Ma Khin. She was gang
raped by her boyfriend and his friends at a harbor, and then became a
prostitute. One day she meets the boy at that same harbor and she
decides to take care of him and of his education, to help him surviving
in the city. When he finds out that Ma Ma Khin is a prostitute, they
make love. The boy starts experiencing a new kind of relationship with
a woman. Even though he knows she is not a good woman, he dreams
to walk at her side and craves her love.
A couple in their late thirties has everything: jobs, a house, a car; but
not a child. After taking contraception for years before marriage and
having an abortion, the wife, Moh Moh blames herself for not getting
pregnant. The couple’s strong determination urges them to go abroad
and to get fertility treatment, since the technology is not available in
Myanmar, and their failed attempts to procreate make them fight.
While others, poor people, are trying so hard for a simple meal, the
couple feels the unluckiest on earth for not having a child.
All these families face a number of obstacles to possess what they
crave for, but being so drawn by their desires, they become blinded
and can’t accept the truth.
Maung Okkar
Director
May Zin Myo
Producer
Director‘s Note
This film, which is an adaptation of the short novel I
Want Only One Thing by Aung Lin, is not simply about
the three families but about today’s Myanmar and
the struggle of its people. While portraying the main
characters, several issues like unemployment and lack
of education will be spotlighted.
The film should be realistic in a true-fictional style.
For instance, as it is typical in Myanmar, whatever
happens on a certain floor such as a couple quarrelling
can be clearly heard by neighbors on other floors
— linking the three stories. The staircase of the
apartment building will be used to switch scene, from
one family to another.
I want to make an independent film with
professional mainstream actors in the main roles,
hoping it will help reaching a bigger audience,
especially abroad. I’ve already attended international
film festivals and I am involved in some German and
French initiatives in Myanmar. I’m keen on working
with Europeans on my films too; thus attending Open
Doors and meeting more foreign professionals not
only to discuss my project but also to exchange visions
about filmmaking will allow me to take a step further
in my career.
Visual Concept
The Story begins at a jetty where a prostitute and
a young boy first meet at dusk. The background is
old colonial buildings and silly old city where their
lives start again in the dark. Apartments represent
the citizens’ lives. The story is fast, dark and moody.
The staircase symbolizes the ups and downs of the
characters’ lives. The taxi takes you to different
parts of the city. The room means a love paradise
for the boy and a lesson for the woman. Moh Moh’s
apartment is always noisy with row showing money
cannot solve everything. All the three stories will be
shot in one panorama established shot. The motif is
“Life is full of sufferings”.
Game is his second documentary. Followed by Let’s
Get On The Bus, commissioned by Save the Children
Myanmar. His first short film is Next Drop of Rain, after
which he made short films for Myanmar Red Cross
Society. His most recent work is The Gong.

Synopsis
“What if a river could tell stories?
What if a river could narrate the streams... it carries everyday!”
Making a river-voyage over a 200+ kilometers water-way, crossing
valleys and rivers, between the bustling capital to the remote coastal
village of Bangladesh... framing a sweatshop Mother waiting for her
son with a new toy, a Man and his Woman returning after loosing the
city-battle, a Cleric traveling back home with radicalized ideas, a
Politician on his way back to his constituency just before the election...
Day After Tomorrow
w takes a critical-realist observation to draw portrait
of the silent mass of Bangladesh.
The Captain making the same tour for decades faces the unknown on
every ride, the Ticket-checker gets worried everytime he leaves his
teen-ager son back at home, the Medecine-seller the Palm-Readersells
new hope in the silent mass, the Blind-singer tunes in love to earn a
living for the day, everyday...
Travelers getting on and off all the way, bringing stories of their own
kind... weaving together a balad of the land. The river flows with
unfolding stories waiting for the next chapter; light breaks with
promise of a new dawn...

Director‘s Note
Once a prospective international broadcaster wrote in
regards to my pitch... “Striking, poetic &
philosophical!” I kept wondering... Why otherwise do
I make films? What’s the use of a narrative if it doesn’t
‘Strike’ you driving back in a dark-cold night... if it
doesn’t force you as a ‘Poet’ or make you
‘Philosophical’, I would rather re-think about making
films! I remember once Noam Chomsky saying,
“Singularity is fiction!”. I couldn’t agree more, thus I
decided to make it a documentary!
In my childhood, military interventions were the
force behind the change in state-power. In my
adolescence, I witnessed elections held with great
festivity followed by a cycle of unprecedented
corruption, giving birth to a nouveau riche &
sustaining the opportunist elites. Yet the ‘silent
majority’ never lost hope... in the contrary, politics
remains the favorite topic in every tea-stall,
democracy has its own meaning for each and almost
everyone hopes for a new dawn tomorrow!
Working for my drafted ‘Water-Trilogy’ (Are
(
You
Listening! 2012, Day After Tomorrow..., 2018 and Till
the Last Drop?, 2022)... I have been traveling on rivers
for years now! Cruising through Bangladesh, a densely
populated Muslim-majority nation-state in one of the
most fertile deltas of the world, I am developing a
greater understanding of my rivers! I believe, I can
hear them whispering... I believe rivers have the
greatest stories to tell! As a disturbed witness of our
time... I take refuge in all its allegory. I invite you to a
voyage, to the breadth and width of a fertile land and
sink deep in its alluvial soul!
Visual Concept
Chiseling out small narratives from a floating cave, the
90 year-old paddle steamer engine boat, the visual
treatment of ‘Day After Tomorrow’’ is like a ballad of a
river… rowing under a timeless sky… Scenes made-out
of live-casts, performing their journey on-board as a
live-set…camera as the witness of a populace
otherwise never-framed… the stories as sound left on
the streams, with reflecting lights of day after night
documenting the un-happenings of the travelers, and
their wait for a destination…Water all around
containing the whole, portraits both sound and in
their silence… making a frame of our time.

Synopsis
Two tiny villages - one Tamil, one Sinhala, have been constantly
fighting with each other since time immemorial. Women cannot
conceive anymore and no children are being born. Overnight, both
villages receive a message from the gods saying two things. The first is
that a man and a woman from both the Sinhala and Tamil villages must
volunteer to go to the Forest of the Dead, and second, that only one of
them will return alive from that forest.
Asoka (the Sinhala volunteer) is a father and husband, but
nevertheless leads a lonely life, distanced from his community. In the
past, he tried to lead a revolution against his village leaders. Ahalya
(the Tamil woman) is a widow. Like other women who have lost their
husbands in both villages, she cannot speak. Recently her young son
disappeared in the war. At the subsequent peace talks, it is decided
that Michael, a mixed race Catholic priest will act as a neutral
chaperone and accompany the two volunteers into the forest.
In the Forest they encounter many individuals they have betrayed,
people they have left behind. The three of them have to confront their
own role in the war, and how their actions created the consequences
that followed. And so they come face to face with memory, unable to
run away.
Exhausted by the past, and drawn together by a common loss,
Ahalya and Asoka come together. A baby is born. But to whom does it
belong? And what will change? As the 3 of them move towards and
away from each other; through their own past and their present; we
begin to see how, in the words of F. Scott Fitzgerald, “so we beat on,
boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past”.
Suba Sivakumaran
Director and Producer
Director‘s Note
I wanted to ensure that every incident that happens in
the forest is a direct reference to history. Was there
an internal Sinhala revolution where Sinhalese
insurgents tried to overthrow the government? Yes
– it happened in 1971 and 1989 and 40.000 Sinhala
youths were killed by the Sinhalese state. Were there
Tamil mothers that knowingly gave up their children
to become child soldiers? Yes –not many, but some.
Were there Indian Army Peacekeepers who came to
Sri Lanka to oversee a short-lived peace accord, and
who later began raping girls in the region? Yes of
course – they did the same thing in Kashmir. Does the
president listen to astrologers? Yes – he created his
military and political strategy on the basis of approval
by his astrologer. All of this has been well
documented.
And yet, all of this is only background, hinted at,
woven in and out of the characters’ consciousness.
The larger challenge is how we deal with memory as a
post-conflict society. How to make sure that we truly
‘look’ at not only what has happened, but how it has
affected us and changed us. Asoka and Ahalya are
specific people whose lives have been damaged and
yet have a strong sense of integrity; in which they are
trying to fight for life, and for each other. Will they
win? Will they lose? I wanted to move beyond
documenting history, to understand what the meaning
of history is.

I Too Have A Name, Suba Sivakumaran (Fiction, 11', 2012)
Visual Concept
I believe that the cinematic language is both ship and
anchor for content. I wanted to find a new cinematic
language that is alive, vibrant and very visceral –
allowing the audience to experience closely life itself.
The 4:3 aspect ratio forces the audience to ‘focus’, to
feel a certain claustrophobia, to have to pay attention.
The framing also allows characters to come to the fore
more vibrantly, and has a classic beauty to it. The
judicious use of a Steadicam and a Easyrig has created
an immediacy and urgency to the film. The film is shot
with mostly available light. The result is a naturalistic
mood, and a quietness and intimacy without glare or
glossiness.

Synopsis
Having undergone mastectomy, RUDRAAWATI (40s) is faced with a
dilemma whether to rebuild her house ravaged by the earthquake, or
get breast implants? In a predicament of stability against chaos, she
chooses to reclaim her sexuality to win back her estranged husband;
with the money she was entrusted by her mother to reconstruct her
house. However, her whims gradually catch up with her, and despite
her efforts to save her marriage, she finds herself isolated by her
daughter and the very people she had fought so hard to hold together.
RUDRAAWATI now must learn to let go of false restraints, which
perhaps is her only chance to regain hope and true happiness.

Producer
Director‘s Note
My cousin sister, with whom I had spent all my
childhood, came to stay in my house when she was
struggling with breast cancer. She failed to survive
long, leaving us in deep grief.
After her death, I came to know that her husband was
having an affair. She never mentioned this to me or
anyone else. Why did she keep it a secret? Was it because
she thought her mastectomy could be the real cause for
her troubles? Would having a breast implant mend her
relationship? Why did she never leave him? How did she
bear this trauma when she was fighting cancer?
In our society, a Girl defines herself through her
relationships to the Men she is with; if she is alone,
she is considered cursed. Any Nepali woman knows
she is expected to be an obedient daughter,
submissive wife, dutiful daughter-in-law, caring
mother and so on. She would rarely get an opportunity
to be herself and be a fully realized woman. She, who
tries to traverse a different path, is looked down
upon, and often punished.
Days after her death, when I was in a meditation
retreat to salvage my sanity, I decided to write this
distressing personal story about my cousin-sister’s; to
try to understand what defines a woman in our
contemporary Nepali society; to examine the
predesigned roles she is expected to play. But beyond
that, I turned to explore my cousin-sister’s yearning,
angst, confusion, flaws and her rediscovery, through
which SEASON OF DRAGONFLIES finally became an
emotional tale of hope, acceptance and awakening.
Producer’s Note
I have been working with Abinash for some time now.
I admire him for his delicate subject matter, sensitive
characterization and the personal touch he brings to
his stories. Rudraawati is both a vulnerable and a
fascinatingly strong character. Her journey navigates
through fear and hope until she is confronted with the
most humbling and, at the same time, empowering
question. Season of Dragonflies is a tale of a family in
contemporary Nepali society recovering from the
aftermath of the great earthquake. It is subtly woven
as a complex puzzle that ultimately forms a clear
picture of the beautiful-yet-harsh reality in which the
characters live. This story not only emotionally
enriched me but also made me think what is it be like
to born as a woman in the patriarchal society I live in.
Visual Concept
The soul of the film is Metamorphosis of Dragonfly.
First Act (Inside Shell, Pity); Second Act (Nymph,
Hope); Third Act (Adult, Catharsis).
Each of the 3 acts takes place in different locations,
and the camera style changes with each. The lighting
too will change accordingly complementing camera
work and color by creating a foundation for each act,
resulting in a vivid interacting whole. The costumes,
props and the background will be carefully managed
to achieve the tonality of every acts and of the scenes.
And I want to keep things simple, focusing on core
emotions, avoiding anything conventional.

Synopsis
Asef is an Afghan cineaste in his late 20’s passionate for cinema. He
runs a small screening room in Kabul to show films of his collection. In
1996 Afghanistan falls into the hand of the Taliban, who ban any kinds
of arts and culture with death penalty. Despite the ban, Asef cannot
abandon his most precious ten films that include the works of Ozu,
Kurosawa and Chaplin etc. Caught by the Taliban, Asef asks them to
screen just one film before they kill him. He chooses to show ‘The
Good, the Bad and the Ugly’. Unexpectedly, the Taliban like the film
and let him live after the screening, under one condition: that he must
show them a new film every day. The Taliban are now confronted with
all kinds of stories of humanity, which gradually causes deep dilemmas
inside themselves.

Director‘s Note
I am Asef, the hero of this story, passionate for cinema
and cinema history.
I was born in the same region where the story takes
place, near the Buddha of Bamiyan, and I feel the same
passion Asef feels for cinema and his loneliness as
someone who understands Chaplin, John Ford,
Kurosawa Ozu and desperately tries to show it to
those in Afghanistan who have never seen a movie in
their life and consider cinema as a sin of death. This
film tells in a way my own story about Afghanistan and
Taliban, interwoven with cinema history.
There are many stories about Afghanistan and its
contemporary history, but some are so relevant to
mankind and humanity that simply can’t stay untold.
Like this one – it digs deeply into the deepest part of
the brainwashed Taliban to tell what makes Taliban
Taliban. In the story, a situation is created where
these soldiers become kids who find themselves in the
hand of a storyteller – ‘naked’ and free of any
prejudgments or political injections. The story takes
us on a journey of the main historical happenings
inside Afghanistan and in the world of the last
decades, while we continue to follow the thrilling
story of the main character Asef.
The film is staged in Afghanistan and in the specific
period of Taliban regime, but it is also a universal story
about what culture means to mankind. The ten films
that are more precious to Asef than his own life are as
precious to myself, because they represent not only
cinema history but more importantly, the
meaningfulness of the life itself. These films are also
the soul of the current story and together form a
metaphor and a respectful ode for human civilization.
Visual Concept
A reference for our film is Cinema Paradiso (1988). But
our film goes beyond it to visualize de dilemma’s the
Taliban get into by watching the masterpieces.
When the story develops, the reality gets
increasingly mixed up with the world created in the
masterpieces. By associative editing, the world in
cinema, the reality Asef has with the Taliban and the
‘reality’ in news become Asef’s world. When the
climax is reached with the re-edits by Asef, the film
will be a surrealistic symphony to touch and shake the
human soul - the beauties of humanity perhaps can
only exist in the imaginative world of cinema and are
impossible to find in reality...

Synopsis
“We all live in one story. But.
Different realities.”
Or. Perhaps.
We all live in one reality. But.
Different stories.
And. In between. There is just a mask.
In the gloomy and remote valley of Phobjika in central Bhutan,
Sangay, a 16-year-old girl lives with her widower father, Ap Atsara, a
popular craftsman who is specialized in making wooden phalluses. He
has also been playing the role of an atsara (a clown) in the annual tsechu
(festival) for the last twenty years. Now, he wants to retire and pass on
the mask to a younger talent.
But, a dark secret from the past unfolds. And in the convoluted
world of phalluses and masks, Sangay struggles to find congruence
between her inner world and the outer relationships. She gets lost in
the vast and beautiful landscape of Phobjikha in search of who she
wants to become.
Tashi Gyeltshen
Director
Kinley Tshering
Producer
Director‘s Note
A story first comes to me as a question. I’ve been to
many festivals in Bhutan and received blessings from
the atsaras’ phalluses and I have always wondered,
what kind of person is behind those funny red masks
and weird red costumes? Are the symbolism and the
sanctity of the outer shell more important than the
actual person inside?
In The Red Phallus, we peel off the cultural shell and
look at our own humanity. We all wear masks like the
atsaras, but how much do we know who we are? Does
the mask become our identity at times?
According to my native languages, when we tell a
story we ‘release’ or ‘untie’ one. So, stories free us
and give us the possibility to empathize both good
and evil without the mask of moral constraints. The
film is about the paradox of being human: killing and
raping and at the same time striving to attain
enlightenment. The phallus symbolizes the grim
presence of violence underneath the silence and
stillness; it is a symbol of male chauvinism and
humanity’s decadence.
The color red comes from a personal experience
from my childhood when I saw my mother in a pool of
blood in the bathroom. I was too young to understand
what was happening but I found this woman
murmuring a prayer in the pool of red beautiful; the
whole picture came to me as sad but beautiful. To me,
red symbolizes both life and death, same as one event.
The Red Phallus will be the third film of the ‘Red’
trilogy after my two shorts Girl with a Red Sky
y and The
Red Door. In all three films, death is not an end. It is a
beginning of life.
The Red Phallus is an aspiration to look at Bhutanese
cinema as a way to experience our own culture and
stories in an artistic fashion, which is far from the
commodity cinema that we are experiencing. As a
filmmaker, it’s my humble attempt to find my own voice.
Visual Concept
The film will be minimalist in approach using natural
light and the dark brooding presence of pastoral
settings. It will be shot mostly in deep focus and long
takes, contrasting extreme wide shots with intimate
close-ups, expressing the oneness of landscape and
mindscape. The characters are together yet apart and
so will be trapped in the same space but in different
times by visual alliteration. The characters will be
pitied against the vast landscape. Everything gets lost
in the vast empty landscape. Even the narrative. The
vision is to show how beautifully sad and empty life is,
even as we search for the meaning of life.
Tashi Gyeltshen started his career as a journalist
before delving into filmmaking. He is a self-taught
filmmaker. His third short The Red Doorr premiered at
International Film Festival Rotterdam (2014). Tashi is
equally passionate about poetry and his poems have
been published in several magazines.

Synopsis
In Pakistani villages, the arrival of a mela (fair), with its luscious
performers, used to be a big reprieve. Except, the melas are
disappearing as the religious right comes down hard, security is upped
and the money dries up for the performers.
We enter this ebbing world of the small town melas and its
performers - its transwomen dancers, its behind-the-scenes
technicians and performers who have yearned for fame and respect.
We see that the melas are often set up in conjunction with a religious
festival in town to attract pilgrims as potential audiences. The film
explores the arrival of the mela and how the audiences negotiate the
sacred and profane together. It will give a glimpse into how the mela
has become the performers’ social structure despite the odds, as
moving performers may be each other’s strongest family, or not. We
follow three of the mela’s most-talented and popular performers as
they battle old age, looming poverty and moral policing to carry the
dream of moving up the entertainment ladder.
There are thousands of seemingly marginal performers all over
Pakistan. We will be chronicling them over a period of time, knowing
them closely as the melas pack up from one place to another. We look at
how the phenomenon of melas has survived and performers still enthrall
their audiences, despite the decrease in numbers. Dangerous live acts,
spirited dancers; the passionate wrestlers live a nomadic life to make
people happy, because that’s all they know and their families knew.

Producer
Director‘s Note
This film is conceived as a eulogy to the (once) grand
fairs that came to small agricultural towns, and
brought with them provincial glamour, illicit
excitement – admissible as the harvest had been good
and there was extra money to be spent and celebrate
– and a taste of the imagined big city and its
caricatured excesses.
To make the societal distinctions clear, the
characters of the fair had to be presented as extremes
– freaks – who occupied a different moral universe
affording them greater license. The visual treatment
will address both these expectations from the
audience and the realities of the artists’ lives.
Visual Concept
The camera will be closer, more intimate during the
day but wider and formal at night. The camera will be
moving for the most part, at times handheld and at
others on a gimbal. A flying camera will lend poetry to
acts polished from practice, displaying skill even if the
props have frayed, while a long lens approach will
capture the complicated interpersonal relations
amongst members in a troupe that has to stick
together.

Producer’s Note
Our story of the nomadic Pakistani melas and its
performers explores a vibrant yet struggling tradition
as a homage to the female performers in particular.
The dominant narrative from the Pakistan has been
that of terrorism. While this film touches upon the
forces which have led to the melas losing their
footing, it also shows the long and important struggle
by the performers to keep it going.
