Event overview
Part of the ESRC Festival of Social Science
A screening and workshop with the film Director of the award winning film 'Unravelling', with an original score by Nitin Sawhney.
Produced by the Noise of the Past project, the film developed from a creative 'call-and-response' method to cast a different light on war, memory and the art of dialogue.
The central driving feature of the film is an inter-generational poetic dialogue, in Urdu, between Sawarn Singh, a WWII Indian soldier who fought for the British in Burma, the Middle East and Africa, before moving to the UK, and his grandson, Kuldip Powar.
Through poetic motifs a sensory experience emerges, both evocative and haunting, inviting us to explore our own ambivalences towards collective and personal stories of war.
Noise of the Past (AHRC) was co-ordinated from the Methods Lab, in the Department of Sociology at Goldsmiths (Nirmal Puwar) and Brunel University (Sanjay Sharma).
