This Bit of That India – SNS Sastry – 21 min

THIS BIT OF THAT INDIA

English, 20 min, B/W, 1975

Directed by SNS Sastry

Produced by Films Division

“This Bit Of That India” is a layered refection on several things – youth, diversity, progress, education and technology. With an enormous undercurrent of adolescence and sexuality, the film weaves in and out of seemingly disjointed documentary moments of that are a celebration of individual freedom. These are intercut with a college students’ performance of Federico Garcia Lorca’s “The House of Bernarda Alba”, as a metaphor for repression and conformity.

Part of the City / Citizen package of Films Division films.
