Indus Blues

More

"Indus Blues" tells us about the endangered world of traditional music in Pakistan, a country that not only deals with political and economic problems but also faces a severe identity crisis. The film’s opening scene shows one of Pakistan’s last living sarinda players whose performance in front of the University of Peshawar is cut short by passersby who compel him to stop by saying: “This is not our culture!” A folk culture that once contributed to a collective identity is now about to perish through the forces of Western-oriented pop culture and Islamist terror.
Jawad Sharif introduces us to the music of the last remaining masters of Pakistani folk music. By depicting their close relationships with the instrument makers and telling the musicians’ individual stories, the filmmaker offers fascinating insights into a rich tradition. Sharif’s breathtaking images of Pakistan’s landscapes become the arena for the struggle for survival of an ancient and valuable culture that has been forced out of the urban centers.
