DAUGHTERS OF THE CURVED MOON,
Culture and tradition in Jumla. An observation on the lives of women in a remote corner of west Nepal.
Winner of Best Feature Documentary at San Antonio Film Festival & Reel East Texas Film Festival and Best Documentary at Nepal America International Film Festival, Daughters of the Curved Moon is actually Shakti Pictures' inaugural project, a documentary set in the Himalayas of western Nepal in Jumla. An extraordinary young woman takes us on a journey to a land rarely seen.
Through her trials and tribulations, the film exposes the traditional role of women in this remote, rural part of the country and invites us to celebrate her inspiring break with the bonds of tradition. While telling the story of this unique and charismatic young woman, our intention is to raise awareness of the plight of women in this society whilst sharing a message of hope that things can, and are changing, one woman at a time.
In presence of the director and producer, Miranda morton yap, Sunday June 5th at 7pm at Pauline’s Rooftop.
