Patang (2011) Directed by Prashant Bhargava
Thursday - April 25 - 6:30 p.m. In the old city of Ahmedabad, amid India’s largest kite festival, a family duels, spins and soars like the countless kites in the skies above. When a Delhi businessman returns to his childhood home in Ahmedabad for the kite festival, an entire family has to confront its own fractured past and fragile dreams. With naturalistic performances, bold, lyrical editing and vibrant cinematography, Patang delights the senses and nourishes the spirit. “Evokes the old and new India side by side as well as I’ve seen done.” – Roger Ebert. Director Prashant Bhargava is scheduled to be present. (2K DCP. 95 min. Not Rated.) The screening and visit is sponsored by The Madhusudan and Kiran C. Dhar India Studies Program. Special thanks to Michael Dodson.
Seven years in the making, Patang is Prashant Bhargava’s first feature film. His short film Sangam premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, garnering several awards and distinctions. The film was distributed by Film Movement and MUBI and broadcast on Arte/ZDF, The Sundance Channel and PBS. Prashant started out in the arts as a graffiti artist in his hometown of Chicago. He went on to study computer science at Cornell University and theatrical directing at The Actors Studio MFA program. For the past fifteen years, he has directed and designed commercials, music videos, title sequences and promos. Prashant’s next film is entitled the Highlands.
