Adda presents a screening of two documentaries on Wednesday, 27th
August ‘08 at the Conference Hall, Tata Institute of Social Sciences.
About Elsewhere (29 min)
A film by Priya Sen
The film will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker, Priya
Sen.
Moustaches Unlimited (30min)
A film by Vasudha Joshi
About Elsewhere is a film that seeks to foreground the impossibility
of fixing notions of sexuality through ideas of “identity” and
“language”. As the film moves through various worlds the filmmaker has
inhabited, it suggests a self in constant formation; one that
constructs itself from parts and places that are in themselves,
fragments of memory and experience. The film uses the metaphor of a
“shell” as a place of repose and withdrawal from which it is possible
to emerge. Uniquely, and with all the flair and multiplicity that
accompanies a way of being.
Moustaches Unlimited is a charming, irreverent documentary film. The
film is an assemblage of interviews, opinions, poetry and story that
explores the stubborn legacy and allure of the eponymous facial
feature of men and some intrepid women. Somehow both celebratory and
satirical, Moustaches’ exploration of the male body politics is
amusingly illuminating. It will take the bushiest of moustaches to
hide the grins that this film elicits from its audience.
