There Is Something In The Air (Hindustani (English subtitles)/28 mins/ 2011)

Dir.Iram Gurfam.This documentary is a series of dream narratives, and accounts of spiritual possession as experienced by women ‘petitioners’ at the shrine of a Sufi saint in north India.The film invites the viewer to a world of dream and fantasy. Fear and desire is experienced through dreams and ‘afflictions of air’. The shrine is a space where performance becomes the only rule of engagement, and one can begin to think of the possibilities that ‘insanity’ produces.
Eyes of Stone (Mewari and Hindi with English subtitles/90mins/1990)Dir. Nilita Vachani a film about rural women in Bhilwara, Rajasthan and their rituals of possession and exorcism: expressions of faith, rebellion and healing that thrive within the confines of a stringent patriarchal order. The film is a deep and unsettling exploration of one case of possession, which taken to its logical conclusion, becomes an eloquent testimony to the strengths and sadnesses and indeed the subversions in womens' lives.
