The Brahmaputra and its People
Screening of a documentary film followed by a discussion
Film: Nodir Kul Nai (17:11 min; 2019; with English subtitles)
Director: Parasher Baruah
The film will be introduced by Kishalay Bhattacharjee
Screening will be followed by a discussion with Parasher Baruah on some of the issues raised in the film
The short documentary produced by ArtEast, features singers, boatmen and everyday life on the Chars or numerous sand banks that dot the red river, the Brahmaputra. The river does not know boundaries, it just flows. In the film, through songs and poetry, the miyahs who inhabit the chars explore their relationship with the river, their struggle for survival and the larger issue of migration and identity. They are as much outsider as water is to land
