This series of four short
films commissioned on behalf of PSBT by Anjali Monteiro and
K.P. Jayashankar explores and questions the construction of
our gendered identities and their manifestations in everyday
lives. They will explore the little ways in which we resist
and subvert these modes of power.
The following films are a part
of this series (8 mins each):
OUR SISTERS by Chitra
Venkataramani
The film looks at the way we are taught to understand
gender-the way gender is introduced in classrooms in a
clinical manner.
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS by Sheetal Gokhale and B.
Prasad
The film spans a day in the life of a 24 yr old boy,
caught by his sister while experimenting with her clothes
and makeup one afternoon. The film explores and questions
the gender identities that society enforces upon people and
the protagonist’s subsequent shame at his confusion.
LOST AND FOUND by Akhila Krishnan
This docu-fiction through a
male and female protagonist explores the relationship of
gender
roles and stereotypes with an
individual’s identity and their negotiation with each other
in everyday life.
A DAY’S JOB by Abeer Gupta
The film is woven against a folk narrative, a
contemporary story about the trade and the lives of the Koli
women in Mumbai.
