Zero Bridge
Seattle Premiere!
(Tariq Tapa, Kashmir/India/USA, 2008, 35mm, 96 min) A neorealist tale of unexpected friendship and moral complication set and shot in the Indian-occupied city of Srinagar, Zero Bridge is the debut feature of Tariq Tapa, a US-born filmmaker of Kashmiri/Jewish-American descent. It tells the story of Dilawar (Mohammad Imran Tapa), a wayward teenage pickpocket who longs to reunite with his adoptive mother in Delhi, but finds himself morally and emotionally attached to a young woman whose passport he has stolen. The film avoids any direct mention of the violent political turmoil in the region but intimately explores the pressures of living inside a militarized zone.
