Barzakh was the only selection from South Asia at the festival this year. The web series premiered as part of the International Panorama line-up. A day prior to the premiere, the Barzakh team walked the Red Carpet at the Series Mania Opening Ceremony, which took place at Nouveau Siecle, Lille. The series poster was also unveiled.
Held annually in Lille, France, the Series Mania festival, since its inception in 2010, has been instrumental in recognising and curating the best series across the world.
#Barzakh :
A wealthy 76-year-old man, running a resort in the quaint and magical Land of Nowhere – known for its mythical history and shamanic roots – invites his children for his “Third and Final Wedding.” But this event will awaken the anger of the locals, and bring back past grievances.
An Indian-Pakistani co-production shot in Karachi and the magnificent Hunza Valley. A blend of realism and fantasy, it is a family saga unfolding like a tale, in which ghosts mingle with the living and a family reunion is marked by the crazy decision of a patriarch who has never come to terms with the loss of his first love.
The series is a family drama centered around an elderly man’s quest for love. It explores intergenerational trauma between fathers and sons. The narrative is framed within a fantastical world of supernatural beings and otherworldly events that reveal the chasms between life, death and rebirth.
