Leaving Home: the life and music of Indian Ocean |
This is a film we developed, produced and executed on our own. On 2nd April 2010, it made history as the first non-fiction Indian film ever to release nationally on the big screen. About the film Leaving Home is the story of the four men who make music together as Indian Ocean in a contemporary India where commercial concerns are overriding. Their inspirational story of how they kept the creative fires burning without compromising their essential vision is told with the same energy and lightness of touch their unique music is imbued with. Their music is showcased in three different ways – in concert with all their stage finery, a casual performance in their own neighborhood, and raw improvisations from inside their rehearsal room. This feature-length film captures their unique sensibility for the first time ever, both onstage and off-stage. It showcases their music in such a way that their unique sound is internalized by the viewer by the end of the film.
