Bhutan’s Tallinn, Goa Title ‘I, The Song’ Sells to Fidalgo for Norway (EXCLUSIVE)
Bhutanese filmmaker Dechen Roder's 'I, The Song' has been acquired by Fidalgo Film Distribution for Norway.
“I don’t know if its being Bhutanese, or growing up around stories of intuition and feeling, and forces of magic and surrealism, but I think that’s what guides me in my filmmaking too, and that’s what strengthens me, and the the film – the signs and good energies,” Roder said. But I was determined not to compromise the story and themes of the film with this, I wanted to show Bhutan as I know it, as I feel and live it, with a different “beauty” so I didn’t change the script and felt we could still find support,” Roder added. Personally when producing this film, I was largely guided by Pankaj Mishra’s thinking and analysis of modern history, nationalism and patriarchy in the “global south”.
