Goa.
Just the name conjures up images of hazy sun-drenched days and balmy
nights filled with the sounds of evocative dance music. For years, this
beautiful piece of Indian paradise on the west coast of the subcontinent
has been associated with the purest forms of electronica, providing a
hedonistic get away for the world’s most discerning music lovers.
For the
past six years, the Sunburn Festival has proved to be the jewel in Goa’s
crown. Sandy white beaches, searing heat and gently swaying palm trees
have provided an intoxicating and exotic backdrop as the planet’s most
celebrated artists perform for tens of thousands of festival goers from
all four corners of the earth, year in, year out.
In 2012,
and after much persistent lobbying, event organizers Percept agreed to
give Adhiraj Singh and Kaushik Sinha of RE-Fractor Studios exclusive
access to the festival’s seven major stages to create their own
fan-based after-movie.
“This was
actually our first ever Sunburn,” said Adhiraj. “Over the years, we had
heard a lot about the vibe of the festival and it was on our bucket
list to go see what Sunburn stands for, ourselves. Sunburn has opened up
so many avenues for both Indian and global artistes/music, the
audience, the ‘behind the scenes’ work force etc, that it’s not just a
music festival any more – it’s something which is part of people’s
lives.”
What
followed was a true love letter to this incredible three-day happening.
‘Sunburn Goa 2012: A-Z Highlights’ captures the very essence and sense
of community seeping through the Sunburn experience. Set to the
goosebump inducing Rameses B track ‘Pegasus’, immerse yourself in this
stunning piece of film, a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of like minds,
peaceful souls and heartfelt, shuddering beats.
A
festival like no other: world-class music, togetherness, tranquility,
explosive energy – Sunburn captures it all and bottles it into a
spectacular event that should be on the bucket list of anyone who values
their time well spent.
