Acclaimed director Mira Nair (VANITY FAIR, MISSISSIPPI MASALA, SAALAM BOMBAY) will join us a the festival as the producer of this exquisitely photographed portrait of a society that has maintained its isolation from urban, westernized India. The Garos of Meghalaya in northeast India are a remarkably beautiful people of Tibetan-Burmese origin. Their worries are both basic (having enough food to eat and a roof over their heads) and universal (the women worry about whether their men are faithful; a couple mourn the loss of their child). Director Dinaz Stafford‘s debut feature is an elegant meditation on a way of life that ostensibly offers simplicity and peace of mind, but apparently is fraught with the same existential questions that plague us all.
