Anupam Barve is a busy man. The Pune resident, with a background in theatre, has been making films since 2007-08; his first project was a 40-minute documentary on Pune’s Ganesh festival for a social research organisation. Later, the independent filmmaker was involved in making a documentary titled Dhoosar. In 2009, he moved to London to pursue an MA in Film Direction. His recent shorts – Fresh Suicide and The Hunt – won him several awards at international film festivals. While moviemaking had to take a backseat for two years due to his teaching job, his current project — Amitav Ghosh’s The Shadow Lines — is his first feature length fiction development project.
