Description

The arrival of a travelling circus sends ripples through the inhabitants of a remote Keralan village. Aravindan Govindan’s poetic and allegorical film The Circus Tent explores the often-marginalised lives and hopes of both the villagers and the circus troupe. In semi-documentary style, Aravindan worked closely with real circus people and artistes, travelling with them to the village of Thirunavaya on the banks of India’s Bharathappuzha river – and created one of Indian cinema’s most lyrical masterpieces. Once thought lost, Aravindan’s joyous film in now fully restored and preserved for future generations. 2022 Cannes Film Festival / Official Selection BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS * The Circus Tent (Thamp̄, 1978) presented from the new 4K restoration by Film Heritage Foundation. * Exclusive, newly filmed interview with photographer Ramu Aravindan, son of the legendary Aravindan Govindan. * The Circus Tent at Cannes 2022: Shivendra Singh Dungarpur and actor Jalaja interviewed by Anupama Chopra for Film Companion. * 24-page booklet with new writing by filmmaker and Film Heritage Foundation founder Shivendra Singh Dungarpur. * New and improved English subtitle translation. * World premiere release on Blu-ray. * Region free Blu-ray (A/B/C).
