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

David Raphael Israel writes of MUMU SHELLEY - "From the opening scene (in English) of a young woman wearing fancy shoes & speaking into a mobile & apparently about to join a swank party or the like, clearly it's a contemporary story in uppercrust urban India -- but I haven't watched more to find out more, just yet. But I found the scene so striking & interesting & engaging -- the fact of not knowing yet the context is actually part of its interest". And his 280 word review below in the pictures. You can watch the film at Beyond Borders: Feminist Film Festival here - https://doculive.blogspot.com/p/mumu-shelley.html (also link in bio)

Our film MUMU SHELLEY is now playing at Beyond Borders: Feminist Film Festival, in the 'Personal Is Political' section. You can view the film from 3 Dec-10 Dec here - https://doculive.blogspot.com/p/mumu-shelley.html

My most gracious friend, Dipali Taneja reviews our film MUMU SHELLEY on her blog. https://dipalitaneja.blogspot.com/2021/12/mumu-shelley-brilliant-new-film.html
