THE HALFMOON FILES

Directed by PHILLIP SHEFFNER

87 minutes / 2007 / Germany

@ 7pm sharp
on 26th June 2014
Venue: Everest Talkies, Fraser Town, Bangalore

Synopsis
The film is about the time after World war I, when Indian soldiers, fighting for the British were taken captive and kept in Half-Moon, a prison camp near Berlin, The Germans subjected them to biological experiments, and also recorded their voices. Ninety years later, the Director cam across the audiotape of a colonial Indian POW, Mall Singh, who spoke about his village and how he hoped to return some day.
In his experimental search, Sheffner follows the traces of these voices to the origin of their recording. Like a memory game which remains incomplete right until the end, he uncovers pictures and sounds that revive the ghosts of the past.
