Miyar House

(Miyar House), Ramchandra PN / IND, 2011
original version / English subtitles, 78 min

The filmmaker's 200 year old ancestral house in a remote village of Miyar in Karnataka, South India is dismantled, giving an opportunity for him to undertake a journey into a past that he shares not only with his extended family, but also with successive generations of India's rural population. A realization of the inevitability of a transition marks this journey that could well be the journey of a country that has propelled itself into modernity.
