An Exceptionally Evocative, Visually Arresting Film
Hitting all the right notes, the film laments the undermining of a civilisational tapestry that thrives on diversity
The Siddis, a community unrepresented in Indian cinema, is under the spotlight in Rhythm of Dammam, an exceptionally evocative, visually arresting film written and directed by Kerala-born, New York-based Jayan Cherian. The film premiered this week at the 55th International Film Festival of India in Goa. It is now headed to the International Competition line-up of the upcoming 29th International Film Festival of Kerala.
