Essence
of the film

A reflection on the hypocrisy of idol work-ship in India, Country of Goddesses is an experimental film questioning the “fine line” between divinity and disrespect through a very personal and poetic narration.

About
the project

Durga Puja is an annual festival celebrated most notably in Kolkata, in West Bengal of India. It marks the ten-day worship of the Hindu mother-goddess Durga. In the months preceding the festival, small artisanal workshops sculpt images of Durga and her family using unfired clay pulled from the Ganga River. Through the narration in the film, alongside visuals that interact with this prominent festival, this film uncovers the unheard pleas of the women of India.

Artist's NOte

Uncovering the layered facets of the people and practices that are embedded in the world around us, I strive to represent voices through impactful visuals that film as a medium grants us. If you have a story, let's explore the power of films together!

Bts &
Highlights

This film entirely unplanned. I was initially overcome by the grandeur of the Durga puja festivities but then understood the harsh reality of how the worshipping of women is such a hypocritical act in India.
