Summary: A complex video journey on a Motorcar, the quintessential cultural interchange of modern times, where a picture of the road emerges.
"Video Game"(2006), produced by Public Service Broadcasting Trust (PSBT), premiered at Tiger awards competition for short films. Video Game is the first Indian film to win a short "Tiger award", 2007. The citation of the Jury says that “Video Game is yet another illustration that there’s more to the cinema of India than can be contained with the received wisdom which seeks to encompass it by reference to a dualism opposing Satyajit Ray to Bollywood. Video Game shows a relentless, complex post-modern intelligence as it processes everything within its view, within its memory, within its wide range of cultural references. Its title is an index to this complexity, as it evokes not only digital game space as an aspect of the real, but the pursuit of video within the understanding of a game, replete with strategies, movements, and counter-movements.A new kind of road,indeed.” The film also won the best Film, Golden pearl Award, Hyderabad International Film Festival, India 2007 and the John Abraham National Award 2006.The film was shown at International Documentary Film Festival Zagreb, Croatia, Centre Georges Pompidou and International Short Film Festival Oberhausen (2007)
