David MacDougall | Australia | 2014 | 53' Non-competitive program: Miscellanea Synopsis: In the 16th century, the Indian village of Delwara in southern Rajasthan was ruled as a principality of the kingdom of Mewar. Its palace, which overlooks the village, is now a luxury hotel—a world remote from the daily life of the villagers. Following on from his film SchoolScapes, which was inspired by the early cinema of Lumière, David MacDougall here employs a series of precisely observed scenes to explore Delwara's local primary school as a part of contemporary village life—a life that continues "under the palace wall". website ~ http://astrafilm.ro // facebook ~ https://www.facebook.com/AstraFilmFestival // twitter ~https://twitter.com/AstraFilm // youtube ~ http://www.youtube.com/astrafilm
