Varun Trikha
An Indian film-maker in the land of Setos
February 22, at 18.00 in Estonian National Museum
Varun Trikha, a young film-maker from India, has spent a couple of months in Estonia, mainly in Tartu and Setomaa as an artist at ‘Tartu Artist in Residence’. He is making a film on what it means to be a Seto today and will present some of his research shoot. Varun is interested in how people connect to their cultural pasts through memories and dreams.
‘The Wall’ (33 min), a documentary made by Varun Trikha in 2016 will also be screened as a comparison. This film is a portrait of post-colonial Goa told through an elderly woman struggling with a traumatic past. How similar or different are the patterns of remembering in Goa (India) and in Setomaa? You can ask the filmmaker yourself.
