Intimate, unhurried documentary follows a family of camel herders on the plains of western IndiaThe title of Sonum Sumaria’s languid film might suggest a general sense of possibilities, but her documentary in fact focuses on an indigenous way of life that has become painfully constricted. Ahmed and his family – descended from a long line of nomadic herders – raise camels on the plains of Kutch in western India. Their daily rituals, making rotis over open fires and nursing their livestock, unfold in intimate, unhurried scenes.These routines are deeply in communion with nature, but the landscape has irrevocably shifted, threatening their very existence.

4 h. ago I judged this year’s Welsh music prize – and Don Leisure’s winning album sums up the nation’s eclectic spirit

Desert blues, transcendental electronica and a concept album about a mill powered by music­ – this year’s shortlisted albums were stunningly diverse, none more so than the crate-digging on the triumphant Tyrchu SainWhat if I told you that this year’s Welsh music prize shortlist featured an eclectic mix of desert blues, weird folk, malevolent trance and indie rock?
