Cinema Project is proud to welcome New Delhi based filmmaker Amar Kanwar, to Portland. Recipient of the 1st Edvard Munch Award for Contemporary Art from Norway; Kanwar's films have shown in galleries and festivals all over the world. In the mid eighties Kanwar became interested in filmmaking as a way to explore issues of justice. Emerging from the Indian sub continent, Kanwar's films are complex, contemporary narratives that connect intimate personal spheres of existence to larger social political processes. The films exist at the crossroads of documentary, visual poetry and philosophical meditation; linking legends and ritual objects to new symbols and public events, which trigger emotional and intellectual disturbances in the viewer. Finding a contextual relationship with diverse audiences, Kanwar's work maps a journey of exploration revealing our relationship with the politics of power, violence, ecology, sexuality and justice.
