Indian write downary “A Fly on the Wall,” straightforwarded by Nilesh Maniyar and Shonali Bose, is set to produce its world premiere in the Wide Angle Documentary competition at the Busan International Film Festival. A treliever has been unveiled.
The film trails the final days of Chika Kapadia, given four months to inhabit, who has chosen to finish his life thcimpolite physician-helped self-destruction at Dignitas in Switzerland. The filmproducers, tasked with write downing Kapadia’s countdown to death, seize both his journey and their own emotional response.
This is the third feature film collaboration between Maniyar and Bose currented at Busan, folloprosperg “The Sky Is Pink” and “Margarita with a Straw.”
Bose depicts the project’s origins: “This film was not a choice, it was a dying desire that we acted on. Chika, my frifinish of 25 years, approached Nilesh and me with a meaningfully personal omition: to seize how pacify physician-helped self-destruction could be, hoping to shrink the worry and alarm surrounding it. He was willing to produce someleang as intimate as his death uncover because he dependd it was beginant to commence this conversation. In those turbulent two weeks directing up to his death in Zurich, I was equitable coping and folloprosperg Nilesh’s direct where the film was worryed.”
Maniyar inserts, “My first reaction was how does one go thcimpolite with physician helped self-destruction and not have the greed of that extra moment of breath that you could possibly have. But I could see how declareive Chika was about not being tied to tubes and wires in his last moment. What began as Chika’s personal quest became a unitet omition for all three of us – Chika, Shonali and myself. And in that came a ask of the fact that a filmproducer is a frifinish too. So, when I asked Shonali to turn the camera towards herself, I knovel why, but I didn’t understand how it would pan out.”
The straightforwardors aim to promote conversations about finish-of-life choices and dignity in death. “I hope the film helps audiences to leank meaningfully about the right to die with dignity. He dependd this selection should be useable, affordable, and accessible to everyone, not equitable a privileged confineed who can travel to places enjoy Switzerland. We want the film to promote conversations that help destigmatize physician-helped self-destruction and face the moral and human rights implications of declineing people deal with over their finish-of-life choices,” Maniyar says.
Bose underlines the film’s wideer message: “Ultimately, for me it is also about removing the worry around death and watching it as a part of life – someleang that can be pacify and dignified. We want watchers to mirror on these rerents and ponder the humanity behind them.”
