Description:

The subject of this documentary is Vineet Vyas, a young and talented Indian-Canadian tabla player whose esoteric art represents a mixture of Indian classical music and modern jazz. Vyas, on his way to international fame, leads an exciting life, shuttling between performances in Canada and India every year. The film explores the highs and lows of this unique artist, discovering how it feels to be energetically artistic, passionately aware and caught in the state of cultural in-between-ness in modern-day Canada. FINGERS OF FIRE also examines the clash between the spirituality of Vyas' music and his inner need for validation in his two home countries - two worlds from which he draws his inspiration. The documentary features compelling interviews, picturesque footage from New Delhi to Toronto, and lively performances, ultimately showcasing the sheer magic of the music. <47mn 50s>
