The Kumbha Mela: Same As It Ever Was

The Kumbha Mela: Same As It Ever Was

«Same As It Ever Was»

Albert Falzon · 35 min

This is a silent film, with a musical soundtrack, shot during a boat journey along the waterways of Kashmir that took him to the festival. Using the simplest equipment, a Super-8-camera with a special lens, and directing his attention at simple things--the rhythmic splashing of a heart-shaped oar, the sparkle of evening sun on still waters--Albert Falzon has captured the timeless slow motion of Northern India.
