Dir. Meghna Gupta (center)


Grand Prix winner, dir. Gabriel Gauchet

For this program, the award winner dir. Meghna Gupta of "UNRAVEL" made an appearance.

"UNRAVEL"
Dir. Gupta was a translater for the research project on recycling factory in India. She made "UNRAVEL" with funds from European reseach assosiation. Whole project inspired her to make this documentary. According to her, Indian society is now growing but still there is a gap between rich and poor, and rich people are following Western culture and consumption habit as seen in this film. People in India imagine the western world by looking at used clothings that arrive from western countries.

Dir. Gupta commented that she has been working on documentaries but would like to try making fiction films sometime soon, and also is extremely greatful to have her first short film to be selected and screened here in Japan.

Her film and all other award winning shorts will be shown here in Yokohama from June 19, so if you miss them, please come and watch our award winning programs!

In addition, we had another great surprise today! This year's Grand Prix winner Gabriel Gauchet of "The Mass of Men" was here with dir. Gupta.
