Atul Sabharwal’s is back with a documentary “In Their Shoes”

• After a remarkable debut with Yash Raj Fims, Aurangzeb’s director Atul Sabharwal’s is back with a documentary “In Their Shoes”
•  The film is set to release on March 13 through PVR Director’s rare in five metros

Mumbai, February 15, 2015: After making a debut with Yash Raj films as a writer-director of the acclaimed Hindi feature Aurangzeb, and TV series, Powder, Atul Sabharwal is now coming out with an independent documentary “In Their Shoes”.

Centered on the Shoe industry in Agra and the people who are engaged in it, this feature length documentary is set to release on March 13th through PVR Director’s Rare and Long Live Cinema  in five cities viz. Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Agra and Pune.

Interestingly, this film is one of its kind where the filmmaker is not only associated as a producer-director with the project but also features in it as a son as he quenches his personal quest to go deep and learn about the legacy of his old family business i.e. Shoe trade.

Reminiscing a personal experience, Atul tells, “Back in 2010 I saw my father standing in a Woodland showroom in Agra, looking at a certain item on the shelf and muttering, "so much has changed". At that time, I did not know what had 'changed' though bulk trading in shoe material has always been my family business. Hence, I decided to document what 'used to be' and what had 'changed' and the result is this film.”

With a runtime of 92 minutes, this film navigates through the narrow alleys, crowded slums and giant export houses of the historic city of Agra, India, exploring certain answers through the interviews of footwear artisans, traders, manufacturers, exporters and government officials. Through their voices this film pieces together the tale of the industry and the men who built it and sailed it through or got sunk with the global events like India-Pakistan Partition, rise of the USSR, Solidarnosc movement of Poland, the collapse of Berlin Wall, opening of trade economies.

“I always had that urge to tell the story of shoe industry in Agra since I have been born and brought up there. In a way, this film completes a trilogy of sorts for me because all my work so far has been about a specific city and the trade that happens there.” says filmmaker Atul Sabharwal.

Referring to his earlier work, Atul adds,” Powder was about the trade of contraband/narcotics in Mumbai while Aurangzeb was set against land trade in Gurgaon. Now this documentary also is the story of a key industry i.e. shoe trade within the city of Agra. Besides, it is interesting for me that all my three projects are in different medium from each other - a TV show, a studio feature film and a documentary.” 

Shot by Ansar Shah and edited by Parmananad Kumar, this film allows the filmmaker to unravel the history of the footwear industry in Agra, and discovers how the global events of his growing up years impacted his relationship with his father.

“The Mystical Forest" displays its soul through the language of dance

The Indian Council for Cultural Relations presented, “The Mystical Forest “a contemporary dance production based on Mayurbhanj Chhau on 20th May 2014, at Kamani Auditorium, Copernicus Marg, Delhi. The production was by Sadhya-a unit of performing arts and was choreographed by Mr.Santosh Nair. This act was a collaborative effort by Indian & International artistes (Carolina Prada from Columbia & Gaura Prema from USA)

 

“The Mystical Forest” explores the soul within the forest as its inhabitant. This act availed the vocabulary of dance of Mayurbhanj Chhau with strong tribal influences and grounded movements with contemporary interpretation. Through this act the artists portrayed varied experiences, emotions, rituals & celebrations of the inhabitants and their life within the forest.

Mayurbhanj, originally a tribal dance, came from the forests of Mayurbhanj. And this production, presented by Sadhya Dance Company, was an attempt to bring forth the raw & simple life of the people living in the forest in an innovative way through its music, vibrant choreography, expressive movements, lights & costumes.

 

Mr.Santosh Nair, Artistic Director-Sadhya Dance Company, a renowned contemporary dancer, and the name behind Sadhya, is the choreographer of this act. He has worked towards promoting the passion of dance and providing a platform to the upcoming talents.

 

Under his guidance, this production travels from the divinity that they may be experiencing their various daily activities, to the playfulness, the hunting, the rituals & traditions that they believe in & to the relationships that they would be having. In a nutshell it defines their day from dawn to dusk. In a subtle way this act also showcased their sensitivity to the outside world, which they are not familiar with and are very apprehensive about.

 

Mr.Santosh Nair, says, "This production, without being outright, leaves an impact on the viewers and force them to think that why can't these inhabitants of the forest live their as it is. Why can't they live with their simplicity, innocence, and survive with their natural habitat. We want the people to realise that Let no one disturb this natural existence and allow the inhabitants to live in their own world."

 

The act has been scripted by Ms.Nalini Sharma, Choreographed by Mr.Santosh Nair, Music Composed by Upmanyu Bhanot, Light Design by Gyandev Singh, Costume Design: Alpana & Neeraj
