My Death, not Your's
Mein Tod ist nicht dein Tod, Germany, 2006, 88 min, Digi Beta, Personal View
Chetna came to East Germany from India. She was 19 and I was 23, when we studied at the Film Academy in Babelsberg. Twelve years later, Chetna died while we were shooting a film in India. Since that time, I`ve felt the need to make a film about our love, our time in India and West Berlin, as well as the East Germany of the 1970`s. And yet, this was not possible without her, until she once again got involved. She just said, "Here I am", and that`s how our last film together took place.
