FirstpostOne of India’s first improvisational new age fantasy films, Fairy Folk is writer-director Karan Gour’s labour of love after his last much lauded outing Kshay. Karan Gour’s Improv Dramedy Fairy Folk to screen at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne on Aug 20. Talking about her experience working on Fairy Folk, Rasika Dugal says, “Working on an improvised film is an actors delight.This style of shooting gave us the room to explore the many odd things that people do and say when they find themselves in unprecedented situations….the beautiful oddities that sometimes get lost in the need to write a ’logical’ script. I do hope watching Fairy Folk at IIFM proves to be as fun an experience as we had making it.” Chiming in to talk about what makes Melbourne and IIFM special, producer Annukampa Harsh says, “I recently read that ‘The Story Of the Kelly Gang’, considered the world’s first full-length narrative feature film, was shot in and around the city of Melbourne, where it also eventually premiered in 1906.
