Tribes of musicians have lived in the Thar Desert along the India-Pakistan border for a thousand years. Song Of The Dunes shines a light on the desperately hard lives of "Untouchable" caste musicians in India's Rajasthan state today. Over the centuries, the ancestors of these humble players have performed in the region's royal courts. Today, Rajasthan's traditional musicians play for tourists while struggling to hold on to their homes in the face of road-building projects and luxury developments. The film also features His Highness Gaj Singh II, Maharaja of Jodhpur.
The LACMA event, presented by the Museum's Southern Asian Art Council, will include a Q & A with members of the filmmaking team, and other cultural experts. Song Of The Dunes won the Silver Lei Award for Excellence in Filmmaking at the 2009 Honolulu Film Festival. In addition to Ms. Fouce, Mr. Haugse and Ms. Leeman, the Song Of The Dunes team includes Emmy Award-winning director of photography Christopher G. Tufty; creative consultant Maria Florio, an Oscar® winner for the documentary Broken Rainbow; producer Tim Kettle, and composer Luciano Storti. Members of the Song Of The Dunes team have previously collaborated on India-themed documentaries including Not In God's Name, Naked In Ashes, and Origins of Yoga: Quest for the Spiritual.
Paradise Filmworks, founded by Ms. Fouce, produces unique films on faiths and cultures of the world that inspire and inform to stimulate the mind and spirit. The Southern Asian Art Council is a special study and support group for the South and Southeast Asian Art Department of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Its purview is the art and culture of India and all of Southeast Asia, and Indonesia from the earliest civilizations in the fourth millennium B.C to the present.
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is located at 5905 Wilshire Boulevard. The screening is free and reservations are not required. Parking is available in the Pritzker Parking Garage located on Sixth Street, just east of Fairfax Avenue, or in the lot at Wilshire Boulevard and Spaulding Avenue.
