About the film:
Using the forms of contemporary shadow puppetry, stop motion animation and a rich sound design; this film explores the journey of five groups with particular stressors as they came together to care for each other’s well being through drama and the arts. Based on elements from the unique nature and processes of each of the groups, the film observes the nature of care and community, and how they are articulated and expressed. Through the film, we hope to interrogate these questions.
What does it mean to have care communities in the city?
What are the unique stressors and lived realities of individuals that make these spaces critical?
How can the arts offer a context for such communities to develop and support one another?
What does it mean to use the arts to let a language of care emerge?
How is such work intentionally facilitated?
Director: Maitri Gopalakrishna & Debosmita Dam
