Night Hawks
Directed by: Uma Tanuku
Produced by: PSBT and Films Division
Observational/52min/2012/India/Hindi with English Subtitles
The Film observes life as it unravels during the night in the metropolis of Delhi – a patrolling unit on the expressway, bandwallahs at a wedding, inmates of a night shelter as they dine and retire for the night, a vegetable mandi, night outreach group setting out for the night and a group waiting all night at the rail reservation centre. Shot in a purely observational style, it tries to look at the city from the perspective of people who work at night and reveals multiple stories that often go unnoticed.
To be screened with At My Doorstep.
