Inviting all to an award winning film "Frozen" a 2007 black-and-white Indian drama film directed by Shivajee Chandrabhushan. Followed by a talk by the filmmaker "Idea to Screen" as a part of Cinema Talk @ Lamakaan.

Shot entirely on location at Ladakh, 'Frozen' is a journey of imaginative and impulsive teenager, Lasya, who lives with her father Karma, an apricot jam-maker and younger brother Chomo in a remote village in the Himalayas. Pristine snow-capped mountains surround their tiny hamlet and barren harsh land stretches for miles into nowhere. One day the army moves in, settles a hundred yards across their doorstep. The last bit of comfort the family draws from their familiar surroundings changes into a harsh, ceaseless, irreversible conflict. The film depicts the life of this family whose dreamlike existence is interrupted by insurmountable odds, one after the other.

The film has won the following awards: National Film Awards - Indira Gandhi Award for Best First Film of a Director Shivajee Chandrabhushan, National Film Award for Best Cinematography, Durban International Film Festival - Best Cinematography and Osian-Cinefan Film Festival, Delhi - Special Jury Award.

The award winning filmmaker will deliver a talk on "Idea to Screen" vis a vis his experience of making a National Award Winning feature film on debut - the trials and tribulations, before, during, after and still.

All are welcome. Entry - Free
