MUMBAI: The Public Service Broadcasting Trust (PSBT) / Prasar Bharati produced film Videogame, has bagged the Tiger Award at the Rotterdam International Film Festival.
An official announcement quotes the jury's citation for Vipin Vijay's movie Videogame saying:
"Video Game is yet another illustration that there's more to the Cinema of India than can be contained with the received wisdom which seeks to encompass it by reference to a dualism opposing Satyajit Ray to Bollywood. Video Game shows a relentless, complex post-modern intelligence as it processes everything within its view, within its memory, within its wide range of cultural references."
"Its title is an index to this complexity, as it evokes not only digital game space as an aspect of real, but the pursuit of video within the understanding of a game, replete with strategies, movements, and counter-movements. A new kind of road movie, indeed."
