About Lorni—The Flaneur

Shem (Adil Hussain), an out of work, self-styled detective with a sharp sense of the streets escapes the lethargy of small town Shillong when he is asked to investigate the disappearance of an object worthy of great cultural value. Navigating narrow streets and dark alleys, he embarks on an emotional and mental journey reflective of his reality and that of Shillong.

Wanphrang K Diengdoh is an independent film maker and founder of Red dur, a production space for films and music. In 2009, he was awarded the Public Arts Grant by the Foundation of Indian Contemporary arts for his installation Kali Kamai.

In 2017, he released Because We Did not Choose, a film on the participation of tribal labour in the First World War.
