Arupa Rupa
Sat Oct 26, 11:00 AM
Vasantha Lakshmi & Lamakaan
Join us for an amazing film screening this Saturday morning.
Film: Arupa Rupa (Formless Form), Dir: Deba Ranjan,
Dur: 60 minutes
Synopsis :
In India, casteism is a deeply rooted social hierarchy based on birth and occupation, with Brahmins traditionally at the top. This system fosters discrimination, prejudice, and social exclusion. Over time, various religious movements and teachings have arisen across the subcontinent to abolish such an oppressive caste system and advocate for equality. The “Arupa Rupa” ( English title: Formless Form) is a film that chronicles Mahima Swamy and Bhimabhoi's history, spirituality, and politics—its origins, pasts, and transformation in the present.
Biodata:
Deba Ranjan is a writer and documentary filmmaker based in Odisha, India. His debut film, The Conflict: Whose Loss, Whose Gain, was followed by From Hindu to Hindutva, which powerfully documented the anti-Christian communal violence in Kandhamal (2008). His award-winning film Those Stars in the Sky has been honored internationally, receiving the Best Documentary Award at the Istanbul International Architecture and Urban Film Festival (2019) and the Best Environmental Film Award at the Political Film Festival, Los Angeles. His seventh documentary, Formless Form, was recently screened at the Sign Film Festival in Tirur, Kerala. His upcoming project will explore the disappearance of Buddhism from southern India, where the religion originally flourished.
