A Season Outside

Amar Kanwar’s A Season Outside is a thought provoking quest to investigate the futility or validity of violence. The film employs several codes of conflict and discord—from the territorial border of India and Pakistan to visuals of Tibetan refugee settlement— to satiate the curiosity to posit violence as a credible response to hurt and harm. It questions its worthiness as device to exact revenge on the transgressor.
