A cyclist meets a stranger in the market. “Bol 1 (the Cyclist)” is the first of three separate encounters that make up “Bol (Speak!),” a short dramatic experimental triptych on the nature of violence. Inspired by the Pakistani Marxist poet, Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s poem “Bol”, and drawn from real events, this segment uses still photographs to comment on the increasing ubiquity and tenor of violence in South Asia. The extended triptych, “Bol (Speak!),” is also available for distribution through CFMDC.
