I Am A Whisper, My Dear
As they struggle to reconcile their Christian, Mizo, and Indigenous identities, Mizo LGBT activists bravely face their shared lack of futurity at the wedges of the Mizo and Indian societies. I Am A Whisper, My Dear follows their poetic meditations, as they rise up to offer a counter - voice to the indigenous customary laws and religious life of the Mizo society which bound them to land, family and Church in seemingly inescapable ways.
A collaborative, ethnofiction film, co-produced with Mizo LGBT activists.
Nobel Nok Dah
Nobel Nok Dah offers an intimate view into the lives of three refugee women from Myanmar (Burma), whose migratory paths cross in Thailand and eventually meet when they resettle to central New York. Drawing upon methods of feminist oral history and ethno-fiction, the film traces glimmers of subjectivity that complicate any singular narrative of the refugee experience. As camera movements follow the textures of everyday life and work, a weave of sensorial fragments immerses audiences in women's narratives of self, place, and belonging.
For My Art
For My Art follows five women performance artists as they venture into the streets, markets, and mega-malls of Yangon, Burma/Myanmar, transforming the quotidian into unexpected performance spaces. As ordinary people and objects are swept into their art, the boundaries between performance and everyday life begin to disappear.
TNT Gospel Camp
Thutak Nunpuitu Team (TNT), one of the most successful gospel camps in Mizoram. Run by Pu Sângthankima, a self-decla
red Mizo prophet and ex-drug addict himself, the camp houses 2,000 individuals (drug and alcohol addicts, orphans, and persons struggling with physical and mental disabilities). Although it is a self-sufficient, it solely depends on the work of its 180 volunteers—ex-patients who choose to live in the camp and help. This film shows a typical day in the life of the camp.
