Slow Rivers
Mind-bender. 41:16 minutes. English. 2023.
A magnum opus that tells the story of the relationship between an artist and her art, 'Slow Rivers' is a mind-bender that paints it's canvas through the real, the metaphysical, and the delusional. Choreographed and performed by Savitha Sastry, 'SLOW RIVERS' portrays amongst the most intricate, technical, and intense Bharatanatyam performances ever filmed. Writer and Director AK Srikanth is at home in this genre bringing together two stalwarts in the same frame in all it's glory. Abhay Nayampally's score depicts the gravitas like never before. And of course the thespian from Bollywood, Ashish Vidyarthi delivers a performance that brings back memories of his debut film 'Droh-Kaal'.
Featuring Ashish Vidyarthi, Savitha Sastry, Sasho. Music: Abhay Nayampally. Written & Directed by AK Srikanth
