A screening of the film 'Deccani Souls' is being held to commemorate the 65th anniversary of Operation Polo in Hyderabad. It will be followed by an interactive session with the director of the film, Canadian artist and filmmaker Kaz Rahman.
'Deccani Souls' was shot on location in Hyderabad and Bidar. Parts of the film were shot in Canada as well. The film's themes include dreams, memory and emigration, and a specific undercurrent of the story is about the forgotten and painful history of Hyderabad State back in 1948.
The style of filmmaking is influenced by classic European and Iranian cinema, and the content of the film plays with time while capturing the eroding yet important pulse of Islamic culture in the Deccan region.
This film is a mystical journey through the portentous streets, cafes and chaos of Hyderabad, trying to make sense of this magically tragic city.
