MACHINES, 2016
India, Germany, France | DCP, Color, 71’ | Hindi, English
Director: Rahul Jain

Rahul Jain’s first film premiered at the IDFA and was subsequently awarded the Cinematography Award at the Sundance Film Festival. Jain depicts the heavy working conditions at a textiles factory in India’s Gujarat region while he portrays the different colored paints as they cascade just like a creamy waterfall in the middle of the dreary colorless factory and its deafening sounds. The director highlights the social context of the issue of industrial labor in earnest as he maintains his artistic approach.
