THE 121st EDITION OF THE fd ZONE (Part IV) Dear friends, THE fd ZONE is delighted to host Farida Pachas feature documentary My Name is Salt. This film is a stunningly poised portrait of a season’s salt-panning in the Little Rann of Kutch in Gujarat. Crisply sculpted out of found elements – the epic flat landscapes, iridescent light, formations of salt rakers and mounds, abandoned vehicles, very occasional dialogue and diegetic music, the film is a meditative, immersive picture of labour as an act of faith, made with striking flair and beauty. (Text abstracted from a review in Sight and Sound, February 2014 issue). The film has been widely screened, much acclaimed and awarded at major international film festivals including IDFA, Hong Kong International Film Festival and Documenta Madrid. The films director and producer, Farida Pacha and conematographer and co-producer Lutz Connerman was present at the screening.
