The legacy of Raj Kapoor lives on in the international film festival circuit…
Still from The Director's Angst (2014/ Israel)

A poster of Jagte Raho (1956) in the foyer of the arts theatre where the eponymous director’s film is being premiered is a constant motif throughout writer, director Dan Wolman’s film The Director's Angst (2014/ Israel). Indeed, the film’s hero keeps pacing up and down past the poster at many stages of the film, to convey his (also eponymous) angst.
