Scenes from Tony Gatlif’s Latcho Drom (1993):
Latcho Drom, also known as Safe Journey, is the second film in Gatlif’s trilogy about the Romani (Gypsy) people. The Romani are an ethnic group that presently live in the Central European states and the Balkan peninsula but linguistic and genetic evidence shows their Indo-Aryan origins. The roots of the Romani language being ancient Punjabi and originating from the modern Indian state of Rajasthan.
Latcho Drom follows Les Princes (1983) and precedes Gadjo Dilo (1997).

The heart-wrenching yet uplifting climax to Manoj Kumar’s Shor (1973). Following an accident at the factory where he is employed, Shankar (Manoj Kumar) has become deaf. Never again will he hear that voice which is dearest to him, that of his son, Deepak. This film is truly a celebration of the joys and pains of life.

“Highly idiosyncratic within the context of contemporary Indian art, [Freddy] Birdy’s works participate in a long history of language-based paintings and art works that characterize Western Modernism: from the word/image puzzles of the Surrealist Rene Magritte, the studies of meaning by American Conceptualist Joseph Kosuth, the Pop Icons of Los Angeles painter Ed Ruscha, to the linguistic experiments of Feminist artists such as Barbara Kruger and Jenny Holzer. Yet Mr. Birdy does not recreate an academic’s dry rhetoric. Rather, his works are humorous and highly entertaining, self-deprecating and tongue-in-cheek, placing him in the context of his own generation of artists such as Richard Prince, Maurizio Cattelan and Martin Kippenberger, who poke fun at the conventions of art so as to take it forward. Mr. Birdy posits painting as a type of stand-up comedy.” – Nature Morte
