- The documentary film finds its beginning, born out of the need to explore existing geographical & political boundaries of India, juxtaposed with, human, emotional & spiritual bridges. Geographically speaking, India is a peninsula. Three sides are flanked by water. Specifically the east, west & south. Incidentally, the north too, is serrated by mighty rivers. This makes boundaries of India fluid, inclusive & accessible to our neighbors. The same adjectives interpreted in the political jargon means, menace of porosity, infiltration & threat to security. The magnitude and the irony of this dichotomy is the need to address this subject, as a film. In a sometimes dark and hopeless world, we need stories reminding us of the constructive options that are always present. The film is to engage, enthuse and envision a new-found look at liquid borders.
- A personal journey into the life of the Tibetan refugee community of Bylakuppe (India); exploring the intermingling of the local and the transposed cultures and the lives of those which are in the midst of this cultural cauldron. The Tibetans who migrated to this settlement, due to a violent history of exile and invasion, feel a strong need to preserve everything native through recreation of a mirror image of their homeland. The space is like a ghost town that is built based on their personal memory, in order to preserve that very memory itself, in the hope of return. With the coming of His Holiness the Dalai Lama in India after the Chinese takeover of Tibet in 1959, various groups of Tibetan refugees have settled in different parts of the country on land allotted to them by the Government of India. The most well known is His Holiness' seat in exile, Dharamsala, in Himachal Pradesh, which has become a popular tourist destination. However, in Karnataka are the two largest settlements of the Tibetan refugees, namely Bylakuppe and Mundgod. Both these settlements are essentially educational centers for the monastic scholars of the Yellow Hat order of Buddhism and the lives of the settled Tibetans here is centered on the functions of these institutions. Since the arrival of the Tibetans, the "local" has changed considerably in and around Bylakuppe. From the food to the clothing to the lifestyle, much of the "local" has morphed, and similarly, so has the "Tibetan". The landscape of this settlement is striking, as we notice the large Tibetan architecture and farming techniques in a region, which historically does not have a thriving Buddhist culture and contrasts considerably from the architecture and landscapes in other close by areas, creating a ghost town dedicated to the memory of a lost home. The sound of gongs, prayer chanting, the spoken Tibetan fused with what is essentially Kannada renders the soundscape a unique quality. Through these varied and contrasting narratives in and about Bylakuppe, the effort is to generate a sense of this surreal space, housing it's personal and collective stories as the building blocks of the narrative, a telling and retelling of the tales of exile.
