LANGUAGE, GENDER AND SEX 

| Kortfilm | 25′ | CR  | vo CR st Fr Nl 

This is a story that ranges from “” administrative trifle “” in a language that does not meet the gender reality .The story begins that Danijela Stanojevic, director and a writer of a film, is requesting that her master’s degree accreditation should be in female gender. In Croatian language you have differences in language for male of female language. Slowly the film unfolds and discovers that in fact the administration does not recognize, and therefore does not admit the existence of another gender beyond male. The twist and drama arises when it comes to transgender and administrative definition of the existence of these people and their ability to exercise their right to work that jeopardizes life and endangers health …

The film shows the everyday reality of how everyday human rights are violated, and how we adapt to the administration in role of “that’s how it is defined” instead of administration applicable and adapted to real life.

 

 quote

“This is not only film about gender it is much more, it is a serious critic of a society that calls itself democratic and free.”

KAJARYA

2013 | FictiON | 108′ | IN  | vo HI st Fr Nl Eng

with: Nasir Ali, Manoy Bakshi, Shashi Bhushan

“Kajarya”” is a film about the force of circumstances and how they make people who they are and that it is only our personal choices that actually define the outcome of the circumstances. Set against two backdrops, New Delhi and a village in Haryana, the protagonist murders unwanted girl infants in the garb of religion. Kajarya and Meera are two absolutely different women from two different worlds. Kajarya is an uneducated woman who lives in an Indian village. Meera, an educated, modern woman who lives alone in a city.

Meera is a global citizen. She could be living anywhere in the world. Ordinarily, the lives of these two women should never have crossed. But circumstances bring the two together and lock them in to an orbit that neither can break out of. Like planets they are caught in each other’s energy field almost without their willing. At another level, Kajarya and Meera’s circumstances are defined by the time and place of their birth. And yet the society they live in judges them for their actions. And so the film also looks at the deep societal hypocrisy that collectively supports something heinous and ugly and pushes everything under the carpet. And then stands on judgement of those who have been forced in to positions they did not really want.”

“Kajarya is a metaphor for that ugly side of society that everyone wants to hide.”
