Quatro Histórias de Desejo
Sound Designer
O filme Quatro Histórias de Desejo apresenta quatro contos sobre relacionamento, amor, sexo e ciúme na Índia moderna. As histórias retratam com muita vivacidade o cotidiano das relações amorosas. A condução do roteiro é despretensiosa, leve e divertida. Os diálogos são o ponto forte da trama e, mesmo no segundo conto, onde quase não há diálogo verbal, ele existe no olhar da protagonista e na respiração dela.
Candles in the Wind
Writer
Women of rural Punjab have long forgotten to sing the songs of harvest in the midst of escalating farm suicides. The Film witnesses the march of widows of the 'Green Revolution' in Punjab as they re-negotiate the rules of engagement and the politics of domination, in their bid to survive. For the first time, Candles in the Wind tells the story from inside this area, known as the green reserve of India, a place which is relentlessly transforming itself into a social desert, where women are obliged to take over dramatic situations without any form of protection or assistance. Their struggle gives us a window into the social-economic flux in rural India - a nuanced understanding of the silent under-currents of a gender-specific struggle in the larger narrative of surviving as a farmer in these times.
