A Far Afternoon: a painted saga by Krishen Khanna (2015)Edit
A Far Afternoon — A painted saga by Krishen Khanna is a feature documentary directed by Sruti Harihara Subramanian and produced by Piramal Art Foundation.[7] It is devoted to tracing the journey of Krishan Khanna as an artist, and delineates his career in an interesting manner.
The documentary is a filmmaker's attempt to memorialize the artistic process involved in the creation of the eponymous art work by veteran artist Krishen Khanna, and trace some of the influences upon the artist. A film in five parts, A Far Afternoon, delves into those influences that eventually rendered themselves on canvas. There is the vibrant city of Bombay, where Krishen Khanna found a home after the partition of India cut him away from his native land; there is in particular the strongly leftist Progressive Artists Group which flourished in the city for half a century following independence, and into which he was inducted; there is the baaraat (wedding procession), typical of Indian weddings, which is a recurring presence in his works; there is his choice of colours, predominated by many shades of yellow, blue and white; there is the influence of other artists and other art works that have brought him to this place and point in time. The music directors of A Far Afternoon the music duo Aravind-Jai Shankar are based out of Chennai, India. They have worked on national award-winning films, documentaries, advertising commercials, computer and mobile device games and numerous other projects encompassing the scope of music, sound design, and audio production.
