The Road to Ladakh

Directed by Asvin Kumar

Set in the magnificent moonscape of Ladakh in northern India, this fascinating road movie tracks a surreal rites-of-passage encounter between a dysfunctional, coke-snorting fashion model and an ultra-focused, strong, silent stranger, outsiders who are thrown together by chance. At once hilarious and sinister, moving and disturbing, psychedelic and intensely real. + Arranged Marriage (Dir G.D. Jayalakshmi UK/Ind 15mins) When Shashi falls for a white boy in Scotland, her parents pack her off to India to arrange a more suitable match.
