The Hand Of India | A Travel Film by Simon Mulvaney
from Simon Mulvaney on 18 Sep 2019

At the height of the Cold War, amidst growing tensions between the US and Russia, Indian Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi traveled to Washington D.C to deliver a pragmatic speech on the subjects of communication, understanding and friendship.

35 years later, with increasing polarisation around the globe, her simple yet elegant message has never felt so relevant.

However, it is in India, where Indira Gandhi’s message still rings most true; somehow managing to make sense of a beguiling and beautifully chaotic society, with a rich reputation of inspiring swathes of Western visitors.

Shot during a two month backpacking trip, with minimal camera equipment, this is my attempt to communicate the beauty of Indira’s home country, along with the resonating themes she touched upon all those years ago.

For everything you teach the World, thank you India.

Dancing In Pushkar | A film by Simon Mulvaney
from Simon Mulvaney on 19 Jun 2017

When out one afternoon, filming by the ghats in Pushkar, India, I was approached by Israeli dancer, Morni Gertner, who asked if I’d be interested in spending some time with her and Hermant Devara, her choreographer and dance partner, to shoot a performance they’d crafted to the much-loved Bollywood song ‘Albela Sajan Ayo Re’ by Bajiro Mastani…

…this is the result; a quick-fire collection of impromptu images, shot entirely during a 2 hour period of light-hearted improvisation, as the sun set over Pushkar.

Shot, directed and edited by Simon Mulvaney
Starring Morni Gertner & Hermant Devara
Choreography by Hermant Devara
Music by Bajiro Mastani – ‘Albela Sajan Ayo Re’

Shot using a Sony A7sii, Canon 24-70mm f2.8 lens, Metabones EF to E-Mount adaptor, Tiffen VND filter, Glidecam 2000HD and Manfrotto BeFree Live. Post production completed entirely on Adobe Premiere Pro CC.
