LANDSCAPES OF LONGING

LANDSCAPES OF LONGING

Landscapes of Longing is a reflection on and excavation of identity, migration, and generational womanhood. In conversation with texts from various authors, the film interweaves the amorphous dreams, memories, sounds, and untold stories within Mirchandani’s matrilineage to make palpable the ripples of dissonance passed through generations.

Structured as asynchronous chapters, this collaborative experimental auto-fiction finds its departure in the displacement of Mirchandani’s grandmother during the 1947 Partition of India and reaches its crescendo in the eventual immigration of Mirchandani herself from India to the United States in 2006.
