The film borrows its name from the town Sinjar, also known as Shingal, in the Shingal District, Nineveh Province of Iraq. But God has given us a lot and I'm thankful to him,'' he added. Even the Central Board of Film Certification added Jasari to their website, the 41-year-old director claimed.
#SINJAR INSURGENCY MOVIE#
He said if our movie could do something for the language, that would be great and would be history.'' ''Sinjar'', also the first film to be completely shot in Kavaratti, went on to win two honours at the 65th National Film Awards - best feature film in Jasari and Indira Gandhi award for best debut film of a director for Pampally.īut the most important development after getting these awards, he said, was that the whole of India started talking about Lakshadweep and their language. I talked to my producer Mr Shibu S Suseelan, who is a well-known producer and production controller in the Malayalam film industry, and he agreed to do this movie in this language. Later, when I came across the subject of 'Sinjar', I decided to do the film in this language. ''I wanted to do something for the language. He wrote the script in Malayalam, his mother tongue, which was set to ''that language which exists orally'', he added. The filmmaker said he realised Jasari was almost in ''ruins'' and might vanish soon. When I asked about this language, even the people of the island couldn't tell me more because until that time no one ever asked about that language,'' Calicut-born Pampally told PTI in an interview. ''That time I realised there was a language called Jasari, which existed only through oral citation, and didn't have any official authentication. The director, who is also the writer of the movie, said he had visited Kavaratti, the Lakshadweep capital, years ago for an exhibition where his award-winning short film ''Lorry Girl'' was to be screened. In Pampally's case, the idea to make a film in this language preceded the subject of ''Sinjar''. ''Sinjar'' is the first film made in Jasari, a language spoken in the Lakshadweep tropical archipelago that has no script or syntax. ''Sinjar'', a story which takes its root from the cruelty of terror outfit ISIS and bears fruit when love wins, has not only won two National Film Awards for debutant director Pampally but also played an important role in keeping the Jasari language alive.
