‘Videogame’ Movie bags award at Rotterdam film fest
(No Ratings Yet)Director Vipin Vijay’s “Videogame” jointly produced by Public Service Broadcasting Trust (PSBT) and state-owned Prasar Bharati, has won the Tiger Award at the Rotterdam International Film Festival.
Lauding the film, the jury said: ” ‘Videogame’ is yet another illustration that there’s more to the cinema of India than can be contained with the received wisdom, which seeks to encompass it by reference to a dualism opposing Satyajit Ray to Bollywood.
“The film shows a relentless, complex post modern intelligence as it processes everything within its view, within its memory, within its wide range of cultural references.”
The jury also said that the title of the film is an index to this complexity.
“It evokes not only digital game space as an aspect of real but, the pursuit of video within the understanding of a game, replete with strategies, movements, and counter-movements. A new kind of road movie indeed.”
