Kannan Arunasalam

Documentary Filmmaker

Review of ‘The Tent’: “The resulting 20-minute film is quietly and profoundly affecting. Arunasalam’s camera captures the still moments of the women’s vigil”, The Yorkshire Post

“The resulting 20-minute film is quietly and profoundly affecting. Arunasalam’s camera captures the still moments of the women’s vigil as they sit silently, make tea, read or sweep the floor. It also features, by contrast, on a split screen, footage of the crowds and noise of media attention on an anniversary marking 500 days of consecutive protest. Arunasalam came to filmmaking through journalism and this is the first time his work has been shown in a gallery setting. “We wanted to take this opportunity to show the breadth of his work,” says Bond”. — Two hard-hitting new exhibitions are on display at the Tetley, The Yorkshire Post, Yvette Huddleston, 1 March 2019
