暂时失去知觉 Temporary Loss of Consciousness

Though the Partition of the Indian subcontinent took place in 1947, its legacies have meant the recurring displacement of populations right until present times. Treated as a poetic essay, the film explores the ideas of borders, boundaries, limits and forbidden spaces that generate vast wastelands of human emotion and action. Shot in New Delhi and the borders of India with Pakistan and Bangladesh, the film traces these ideas through the voices of those that live in exile in the Indian subcontinent.

This film emerged, not just from a desire to express the trauma and disjunction of people experiencing political borders, but to find a visual expression most resonant of their emotional landscape.
