The Hungry has brought together Asian filmmaking talent from India and the UK countries and is written and directed by Bornila Chatterjee (writer-director, Let's Be Out, The Sun Is Shining), co-written and produced by Tanaji Dasgupta and Kurban Kassam (line producer, 20,000 Days on Earth).
Cinestaan Film Company and Film London are proud to announce The Hungry – an exciting India-UK co-production produced through Microwave International: Shakespeare India and forming part of Shakespeare on Screen, a year-long programme which forms part of the global celebrations marking 400 years since the playwright’s death.
The news comes as Film London announces actor, director and writer Sir Kenneth Branagh as the patron of Shakespeare on Screen. As well as supporting Film London’s work, Branagh is also set to participate in 2016’s activity, with details revealed next year.
The Hungry has brought together Asian filmmaking talent from India and the UK countries and is written and directed by Bornila Chatterjee (writer-director, Let's Be Out, The Sun Is Shining), co-written and produced by Tanaji Dasgupta and Kurban Kassam (line producer, 20,000 Days on Earth). The film, which is a contemporary retelling of Shakespearian tragedy ‘Titus Andronicus’, is set in the extravagant surroundings of an Indian wedding whilst exploring the role of the patriarch and corruption in Indian politics and big business.
Made under the principle of Microwave – Film London’s award-winning training-through-production feature film fund for emerging talent, provided by Indian funders Cinestaan Film Company and a UK SEIS. Two new partnerships have also been confirmed for this exceptional project: Nyman Libson Paul/Goldfinch Entertainment are joining as accountants and finance consultants, while Twickenham Studios will be delivering an exciting package of post-production support – overseen by Mick Audsley (Everest, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) – that will make perfect use of the studio’s new state-of-the-art facilities. The training elements of the scheme, including the week-long Microschool, are funded by the British Council.
