Show @ 6:15
Shot in Kashmir during the 2010 mass protests calling for the demilitarization of the region, Musa Syeed’s feature film debut narrows in on a boatman and his childhood friend, who are planning their escape to New Delhi. When a military-imposed curfew delays their departure, they encounter a young visiting scientist studying the environmental impact of urbanization on the lake. With a cast dominated by nonprofessional actors and set against real-time events, Valley of Saints feels as much like a documentary as fiction, bearing intimate witness to a world on the cusp of change.
