From the film-maker:
I was drawn to the subject matter of “The Winnower” with its references to the French Revolution and the empowerment of the masses. Coming from Pakistan, a country where the elitist divide seems to continue growing, I felt it was important to contrast the ideals of the educated, bourgeoisie with how they treat the proletariat.
Assad Zulfiqar Khan
A piece inspired by Willem Duyster, The Winnower, about 1847-8
