Locarno Open Doors will be held alongside the 64th Locarno International Film Festival from August 6-9, 2011. Open Doors 2011 that focuses on India, has selected 12 projects for its co-production lab. Satish Manwar’s Jat Panchayat is one of them. Manwar’s debut feature Gabhricha Paus premiered at Rotterdam International Film Festival in 2009. In the second in the series, DearCinema brings to you details about the filmmaker and the project, in the words of the filmmaker:
My project Jat Panchayat is about social systems, judicial systems; basically about power systems that govern human life. Above all, it’s about human nature. Every system consists of its rules and regulations, which are at variance from group to group. Yet power structures operate in the same inhuman, dispassionate manner. The structure of the film is that of a road movie and it will explore the life style and belief systems of Nomads from India.
