Hello Nilofer and everyone else,

I am presenting three Indian films at the Gene Siskel Film Center on the 4th
of March but thought it would be good to start getting the word out. I don't
know how many people are part of sapaccore e-list but if there is a larger
list, I will really appreciate it if someone could get the word across by
forwarding this email. Also please feel free to email this invitation to all
and anyone that you think may be interested in the program.

Thanks,

Monica

O Lover of Life: Experimental Narrative from India
(Brought to you by Conversations at the Edge, Department of Film, Video and New Media, School of the Art Institute of Chicago)

The Razors Edge
Dir. Vipin Vijay

Winter Trail
O Lover of Life
Dir. Pooja Kaul


Ancient and contemporary arts of India are at the center of three startling
video works by Indian makers, which blur reality and fiction with their
experimental approach toward narrative. Presented by Monica Bhasin, graduate
student in Film and Video at the School of the Art Institute.

Oracles of Kerala state are the subject of Vipin Vijay's THE RAZOR'S EDGE
(Kshurasya Dhara) (2002, 28 min.), a quasi-documentary in which frenzied
dances, rock-art images, ribald songs, and ecstatic trances are cannily
arranged to make the viewer aware of the constructedness of documentary
reality. WINTER TRAIL by Pooja Kaul (10 min, 2002, digital video) follows
two women in pursuit of Amrita Sher-Gil, one of India's first modern
painters. Kaul's O LOVER OF LIFE (Rasiken Re) merges narrative with musical
structure in presenting the cautious attraction of two neighbors in an
apartment block.
