Following the Noise of the Past event on Saturday 8 November 2008, which featured the premiere of 'Unravelling', the film will be screened at the Herbert Gallery in Coventry.
The starting point for this commission was an inter-generational dialogue in poetry about how one asks and tells of the experiences of war between Sawarn Singh - a WWII soldier who fought in Burma, the Middle East and Africa before moving to Coventry – and his grandson Kuldip Powar. Powar - a film director - posed questions in Urdu poetry to which his Grandfather responded.
Internationally acclaimed music composer Nitin Sawhney took this poetic dialogue as the basis of a multi-faceted haunting composition, which Powar responded to in the form of a searching and evocative film Unravelling. Unravelling (2008 / 17 mins) is the result of a unique film-making process, creatively working with poetry, archive materials, music and visual art.
