Indie Watch: A spotlight on three independent films from across the globe

A Potpourri of Vestiges Feature

Whenever we talk of the 21st century cinema it's imperative to talk about independent filmmakers. Buoyed by their inexorable passion for cinema and undeterred by the paucity of resources, this tenacious breed of artists has been instrumental to the constant evolution of cinema. And, I believe the true onus lies with all those who understand and appreciate cinema to shower praise on this ingenious brigade of filmmakers by celebrating their sui generis works of cinema.

Today, I have the privilege of throwing spotlight on three such formidable specimens of independent filmmaking from across the globe.
