Nishtha Jain’s “The Golden Thread” and Nirmal Chander Dandriyal’s “6-A Akash Ganga” won best film at the international and national competitions respectively at the Mumbai International Film Festival, which concluded on Friday.
“‘The Golden Thread’ is a film that is both an homage and an observation of the last vestiges of the industrial revolution impacted by the forces of economic change. The film illustrates the relationship of man to machine but also questions the equation by which capitalism values man as equal only to his labor. The stunning imagery and sound weave a beautiful narrative that reminds us of the reason why documentary is still such a compelling art form,” the international jury citation said.
