IMFF2019- Indus Blues

INDUS BLUES (Pakistan/ Documentary/1hr 16min / Urdu)

Pakistani folk artists talk about their struggle to keep a fading art form alive while reminding the world what they are about to lose. Filmmaker Jawad Sharif not only showcases the unique performances of these rarely seen musical instruments from perhaps their last remaining maestros but also takes the audience on a journey throughout the landscape of Pakistan from the northern Karakoram mountains to the southern coastline.
