Festival Of Films From Kashmir: The Last Day - Film By Siddhartha Gigoo

The Last Day is a 2013 short film in Kashmiri and Hindi, directed by Siddhartha Gigoo. Its runtime is 12 minutes.



Set in 1994 in a camp for Kashmiri Pandit exiles, the film portrays four frayed lives in a scrawny 8 x 10 tent. Gossamer memories of a glorious past taunt their tawdry and uncertain present.



An old patriarch is battling dementia on his deathbed. His wife has lost the will to live. His son and daughter-in-law struggle for personal space. Will they ever find deliverance? Will they rediscover love? Will tomorrow be any different from today or yesterday? The river has all the answers, yet flows, eternally silent.



The film festival is being presented by FD ZONE (Mumbai), in association with Kashmiris In Hyderabad, Moving Images, Documentary Circle Of Hyderabad, Prasad Film Labs, Lamakaan, University of Hyderabad, EFL University, NALSAR University, Annapurna International School of Film + Media & St. Ann's College. The festival will feature documentaries, features, shorts, readings and discussions on Kashmir.
