A tent is pitched in the middle of the festival grounds and an old projector is readied for a screening. Light travels above the audience, gathering in the blissful moments as it’s reflected on the screen that hangs inside the dark tent. And so, even in the small villages in India, people were captivated by moments of wonder and the surprise presented by film. However, the age of India’s itinerant traveling projectionists, who have screened films in the remotest of areas of India for over 70 years, is coming to an end with the emergence of the digital era. The old projector is no longer repairable, and new films are only distributed in digital prints. Cinema Traveller follows one such traveling projectionist for five years as he visits different festivals with his tent and projector in hand. It records the life and memories of those who have put their lives in the fate of the now obsolete film generation. The film, funded by BIFF’s Asia Documentary Support Program AND, was invited and screened at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival amid acclaim for having captured a disappearing generation of film with graceful, beautiful image and story.
