Join us in the microcinema for Rajee Samarasinghe’s visually astonishing, deeply moving, and haunting masterpiece of visionary world cinema with director Rajee Samarasinghe in conversation after the screening. If you are looking for a cinema experience like no other, one that blends lyricism, documentary, the supernatural, and mesmerizing visuals, do your eyeballs a favor and don’t skip this unforgettable triumph of film.
Fusing allegorical magic realism and investigative documentary and made collaboratively with impacted locals clandestinely in a region still occupied by the military, this film is a lyrical examination of these missing persons through 26 years of civil war in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka ranks among the highest in the number of enforced disappearances in the world and most of the disappeared are Tamils. The nonfiction elements in this film are structured by a fictional narrative thread which tells the surreal tale of a mother who loses her son to a supernatural entity plaguing her community—a nod to the actual disappearances in the region.
