All in film

Subash Thebe Limbu

The film Ningwasum, follows two time-travelers Miksam and Mingsoma, played by Subin Limbu and Shanta Nepali respectively, in the Himalayas weaving indigenous folk stories, culture, climate change and science fiction. The art piece explores the notion of time, space and memory, how realities and the sense of “now” could be different for different communities. Drawing from Adivasi Futurism, Ningwasum imagines a future from Indigenous perspective where they have agency, technology, sovereignty and their indigenous knowledge, culture, ethics and storytelling still intact.

OM DAR-B-DAR (1988)

Directed by Kamal Swaroop, Om Dar-B-Dar (1988) employs a nonlinear narrative, entwined with surreal absurdity. With many of the themes as a direct satire of Bollywood film-making, psychedelic sound effects and cinematically tryppy scenes, the movie takes you to the dystopia within the utopia and vice versa.

Shuji Terayama

Experimenting in areas as different as photography and poetry, it is clear that Terayama felt no need to limit himself or put himself in a box. In the ripe age of social media networking, many feel as though they will be taken less seriously, or looked at as unprofessional if they carry more than one career title.
