The Incidents at Pawgur, 1830
THE PAST. THE PRESENT. THE IMAGINED.
THE PAST. THE PRESENT. THE IMAGINED.
Amid the stark landscapes of Pavagada in southern India, a fleeting UFO encounter draws two researchers and a local explorer into a journey that spans centuries. They retrace the path of a 19th-century British surveyor whose meticulous records of prehistoric sites lend weight to his testimony of witnessing strange lights at dusk in Pawgur, now Pavagada—accounts uncannily similar to their own and other present-day reports of UFO sightings.
The film blends documentary-style narration with fiction, in a cinematic experiment that reframes the UFO phenomenon through contemporary eyes, situating it within a historical context where the unknown and imagination converge.
The Incidents at Pawgur, 1830 will be screened at the following venues and festivals.
