Gorgeous, gorgeous Liberty Cinema. And fabulous KASHISH Mumbai International Queer Film Festival, India. For a brief moment in time, a space of absolute acceptance and freedom. I am beyond proud in this month of Pride, that MUMU SHELLEY is playing today at KASHISH, Liberty Cinema, 5.45 pm along with many more amazing films. Come, come. KASHISH is on until June 5, 2022. It's also online. #MumuShelley #KASHISH2022  #FlightsForFreedom  #LetsRockTheCity @KASHISHfilmfest @aimanbmukhtiar @pubalisanyal @vivekwhy @iamaasifpathan @anandnmbr @mahak_gupta_ @richa_09_ @ruby_makeupandhair @the_lipstick_gypsy
Around this frame, there is the noise of crows, traffic, horns, a drill machine, the rumble of a bus. There is the fishy stink that passes through the house with every gust of breeze. Within the frame, there is this. #sea #calm #window
It seems a good day to reassess what MUMU SHELLEY has been up to since its completion in September 2021.
So thrilled to receive this message from one of the loveliest artistic directors, Chris Clark, awesome in his attention to detail and his respect for filmmakers. -
An independent film like Mumu Shelley is usually mostly DIY. It comes together only because there are enough people out there, who love the chaos, the struggle, the madness of making an indie film. Who will pitch in with whatever they have, their time, their talent, their equipment, for little or no money or big visibility, but simply because it is fun to once in a while, work on something that is not governed by the market. Making an indie film is a huge gesture of privilege, the privilege of having a little bit of money to invest, a lot of time on one’s hands, and incredible friends and family.
If you must sneak in a last film at Beyond Borders: A Feminist Film Festival, before it ends tonight, 19 Dec at 11 pm, do watch the short Nepali fiction, SANKUL (The Confusion) by Aashuka Aryal here - https://doculive.blogspot.com/p/confusion.html. The confusion of a newly married girl about her sexuality comes through her silence. The cluttered frames of a small house hint at the suffocation the young woman suddenly realises her life is going to be. Superbly cast.
During the last weekend of Beyond Borders: Feminist Film Festival on until tomorrow, 19 Dec 11 pm, don’t miss the chance to see Ek Tha Gaon, a documentary by Shristi Lakhera here - https://doculive.blogspot.com/p/ek-tha-gaon.html
Watching Pakistani shows is my not-so-guilty pleasure. But as seductive as the language, the sets, the faces might be, the patriarchy and feudalism in real life is not as benign as it might be easy to believe in a ‘drama’. Three ultra-short films from Pakistan are a glimpse into the country that is just like ours, but not ours.
I have always had a soft spot for rebel girls. If you do too, watch Priya Thuvaserry’s CITY GIRLS (Documentary/28’) at Beyond Borders: A Feminist Film Festival here - https://doculive.blogspot.com/p/city-girls.html
