I stood alongside a battered green truck and stared out at the infinite desert. I had travelled to the middle of the outback hoping to watch a film in the open air. But there was no one in sight. I nearly gave up and left, but as the sun went down, I spotted a figure in the horizon. And then another. Almost magically, from no where they started coming. Most of them on foot, others on bullock carts, a family of four on a motorbike, and twenty people crushed together in a jeep. The line seemed endless. Within a few hours, five thousand people had gathered, coming from miles away, all for the same reason: to watch a film. The crowd sat at the foot of the gigantic screen, forming a human oasis in the wilderness. It was a form of surrender. Surrender to emotions, a good story and the towering image on screen. By dawn it was all gone, no trace of anyone. They had all returned to their quotidian life, waiting for the next gathering. It was a deeply personal experience: travelling with a touring cinema took me to a world where past, present and future perfectly co-existed. A surreal journey where a man, nature and film all came together for that fleeting moment underneath the starlit sky. Road, Movie was born from this journey. A modern tale of survival and hope against a world of fear, prejudice and authority.

THE BUZZ
Tannishtha Chatterjee has sung a Rajashtani folk number that was recorded live during the shooting itself. It is a song that she has been listening to since her childhood.
