After
working together in Elizabeth- The Golden Age, music maestro A.R.Rahman
and internationally acclaimed filmmaker Shekhar Kapur have once again
joined hands for Kapur's first ever short film Passage.
A
special screening of the film Passage was held over the weekend on the
island of La Giudecca. The charming I Granai della Republica was
transformed into a magical space that played host to a soiree of
glamorous stars. Shekhar Kapur, A.R. Rahman, Haley Bennett and Nadja
Swarovski were among the celebrities enjoying Venetian cocktails and
canapés. The guests immerged into the world of Passage after the
private screening of the short film and were even enthralled by a live
orchestral performance by India's Kavita Baliga who sang music from the
film scored by Academy Award Winner A.R.Rahman.
Passage,
directed by Kapur and produced by Curious Pictures Production and
Swarovski Entertainment, stars Julia Stiles (Cry Of The Owl, The Bourne
Ultimatum), Lily Cole and Haley Benett (Marley and Me, Music and
Lyrics). The film invites audiences to dive into magical moments of
transformation in the lives of three young women. Together with A.R.
Rahman's score Kapur's graceful images merge into a highly emotional
and enigmatic passage through despair and loss to reconciliation. The
camera itself acts as a kaleidoscope exploring a non-linear time-frame
leaving it ultimately for the viewer to individually interpret the
meaning of the enchanting and dream-like film.
