Private Project

Bearers of the pot / कुंभीनी

The filmmaker sets on a journey to understand 'womanhood' through his sister, a professional bharatanatyam dancer, who is creating a dance film on the same theme in their mother’s hometown Rajasthan, India. In the journey, he learns about the lives of women in his family and reflects on their experiences. The filmmaker becomes increasingly aware of the patriarchal culture of Rajasthan and how traditions, customs, and societal expectations shape women’s lives there. Intrigued, the camera pans to observe the lives of women, in that milieu.
