New York and Mumbai-based Indian producer Shrihari Sathe has a pair of films "The Sweet Requiem", set in India's Tibetan community, and "Screwdriver", about a Palestinian man released after more than a decade in an Israeli jail in the official programme of the 43rd Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
Sathe, director of the multiple award-winning Marathi film "Ek Hazaarachi Note" (1000-Rupee Note, 2014), points out that his two new productions "have a thematic commonality because both films deal with displacement and a people in crisis."
He says: "I feel some of these stories do not come to the forefront. I therefore want t0 back themes that we do not usually see on the big screen. Even though The Sweet Requiem and Screwdriver deal with specific issues, the emotions in them are universal."
