With the Hindi film industry in Mumbai having undergone a rapid change from celluloid to digital, four analog film veterans reflect on the loss of their craftsmanship and on their survival strategies in an increasingly digital environment. An expanded multi-genre documentary within the constraints of the so-called masala formula, popularly known from Indian cinema.
Bernd Lützeler lives and works between Berlin and Mumbai. His works have been shown at festivals worldwide, including Centre Pompidou, Berlinale, Rotterdam, Ann Arbor, and many more. He is an active member of the artist-run analog filmlab LaborBerlin.
