With the majority of the world currently in lockdown thanks to a pandemic, we have come to witness the suspension of civil rights as a means to keep people at home or commute less in order to stop the spread. While everyone understands the concept, it is in times like these we witness the true value of leaders, those unwilling to listen to scientific evidence or those welcoming the suspension of rights which will only manifest their own position of power in their respective country or dominion. It is in the light of a global crisis we may see something far more dangerous come to live, which will still be there when the virus is already gone and forgotten, which is why a movie such as Ilmaz Syed’s first feature film “Hitler Upside Down” can be interpreted as a warning reaching far beyond the borders of its director’s home country of India.

“Where are all my people?”
If we take a look back at the previous months, the year 2019 seems not just like a logical consequence, but actually the next step into the madness of our times. Even though you should maintain a level of optimism and sense of progress, the sheer size of negativity around the world often makes that quite a difficult task for any person. Of course, much of this condition is due to a certain representation by media, politicians, as well as our leaders of economy and their behavior, but, nevertheless, the present seems quite bleak. In the end, the most pressing fear may just be the result of this vision of madness, the kind of future we have all begun to build and will experience in the years to come.
In his short feature “Godhulibela”, or “Era of Cows”, Indian director Illmaz Syed takes on this perspective.
