Indian Refugee Drama ‘The Clouds Woke No Clocks’ Boarded by German, Singapore Producers, Cast Unveiled (EXCLUSIVE)
German, Singapore producers board Indian filmmaker Aniket Dutta's refugee drama about a displaced family finding solace in the Himalayan foothills.
The story centers on parents Khalid and Sharmeen, and their eight-year-old son Shoaib, who relocate to India to escape persecution in their home country. Thoke, whose credits include Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Cannes winner “Tropical Malady,” has arranged for Popp’s Frankfurt-based Stoked Film to provide post-production services and host part of the shoot. Sen, who co-wrote the screenplay with Dutta, says the project emerges “in this time of political propaganda and media sensationalization with brewing tension between neighboring countries.” Rather than taking sides, she explains their aim is to “reevaluate the understanding of ‘truth’ itself and purposefully shift its parameters from a firm ground of reification to a more desolidified locus by delving into the insignificant; the mundane and the ephemeral.”
