Stills from Desi Bands.

This film tells the tale of a disappearing community of folk singers and dancers around Punjab and Rajasthan. Through the life of one family, it narrates how the so-called progress and development of society has commodified our lives and impoverished those on the margins. What is lost or gained in the process cannot be easily counted, defined, or measured,” says Mohali-based filmmaker Sukhwinder Singh, about his new feature film Desi Bands, which has won the Award of Recognition at the 2019 IndieFEST Film Awards, California.
