Ritu Datta India
We Do
Small frictions, big disasters narrated through Kathakali and film clips.
The film opens with a Kathakali dancer whose expression changes to anger... the word DANGER transforms to ANGER...a match stick is lit which than burns all the match sticks in the box... this friction is projected by film clips juxtaposed with a Kathakali dancer, from the flames merge words... HUMBLE MATCHSTICK HAS HEAD BUT NO BRAINS with complementary music. The film ends with words...WE DO.
