Rajee Samarasinghe

Pituvahalaya

Doc. expérimental | mov | couleur | 7:49 | Sri Lanka | 2018

Shot improvisationally in 2010, shortly after the end of the Sri Lankan civil war, this film takes a lyrical approach to examining recent history and the process of reconstruction in the post-war era. The visions of an exile are carried through an immoral silence, to an end both dubious and bittersweet.
