SHILLONG: The prestigious British Film Institute, a lead institution for cinema in the United Kingdom which was established by British Royal Charter in 1933, will be showing a film by a Shillong filmmaker at the 61st London Film Festival this year.
 ”Noise Life I”, an art film by Sonal Jain and Mriganka Madhukaillya, will be on view at the festival which kicked off on Friday. The section in the festival is ‘Excavating Loss’ in which ‘Landscape and architecture bear witness to melancholia, decay and desire. From politics to folklore, poetry to drama, these films map out a collision of tradition and modernity’.
 Jain and Madhukaillya have been working together since 2004 as a duo known to the global art world as Desire Machine Collective.
 Jain describes Noise Life I as ‘a film with sound’ and it is “an exploration of schizophrenia and the colonisation of human sensibility by ‘noise’ in a post-industrial sonic environment…”, says Jain.
The duo is emerging as the most innovative contemporary artist/film-makers in India.
Their masterful short film, Residue was part of the major show Being Singular Plural: Moving Images of India show at the Solomon Guggenheim Museum, New York and the Deutsch Guggenheim Museum.
 Jain has received accolades and recognition around the world for her work, which has been featured at prestigious museums.
