Cinematographer Pushan Kripalani returns to the director’s chair with Goldfish, seven years after his acclaimed directorial debut “The Threshold.” In the film, Anamika, a half-Ind…
“It’s very difficult to make independent cinema, as it does not get funded easily and so it’s taken me this long to get to make this film. I feel that dealing with larger questions is only possible by examining the smaller parts of human relationships. I feel that my job is to further the human conversation and this was a wonderful way to attempt to do that,” Kripalani told“Dementia is also going to be one of the greatest concerns in the next decade or two.
“Dementia is a very common condition of old age. So it’s not something rare or out of the ordinary – we see it all around,” adds Naval. “It is something we’ve known in the elderly people around us, it’s not something hard to imagine. It’s from observing life around us. It’s from knowing the elderly in our family and knowing how their behavior patterns could vary from us.”
Koechlin says that she didn’t know anyone with dementia, but the writer of “Goldfish,” Arghya Lahiri, whose father suffered from it, spent many hours recollecting stories for her. “The main prep I did for this role was work on an Oxford/Cambridge accent as Anamika’s father was a British university professor and she is a London-born Indian.
The film is produced by first time producer Amit Saxena for U.S.-based Splendid Films. “As soon as I read the synopsis of the film, I knew this was going to be my first film as a producer. The women-centric theme was one of the big draws for me, along with the immigrant aspects as I myself am an immigrant and relate to some of the nuances in the film,” Saxena told“Goldfish,” which premieres at Busan on Friday , will also play at London’s Raindance Film Festival.
