“Sexual assault victims in real terms do not depend on cheap sympathy as they carry the divine power and cosmic energy of their womanhood in themselves, untouchable even by rape.” Aneek explains.
When asked about what inspired him to make a film like White Aneek believes that his aim was to create a cinematic movement to shape modern times.
“White is an effort, but a rebellious voice too. Through this film, I aim to create a cinematic movement which will show the power of cinema to shape modern times. At the same time, I wanted to create something aesthetically beautiful,
Here, Silence has been used as a satire to reach the universal theme of rape. People are silent in order to ignore things that do not affect their own lives; however, White is silent, but holds conscience. Here silence is being used as a weapon” Aneek adds.
The festival will be opened with Talking of Michelangelo by Modhurima Sinha and Waiting by Anu Menon. White is expected to reach more people in Europe, the part of the world where film is equivalent to art.
