A film by Bobo Khuraijam
66mins. / HD colour/ with English susbtitles
Our journeys are filled with ambiguities. Stories of journey interwoven with each other. Heisnam Sabitri, an artist extraordinary, embodies the stories enacted on stage and off stage. The film narrates the stories from an intimate distance.
The film is an intimate portrayal of Sabitri – a household name among theatre enthusiasts. She is addressed as “Ima”, mother. The figure of the mother, who is a teacher, a partner, a daughter…a woman, weaves a range of events, on and off the stage. Shot over a period of three years, the film explores inspirations behind a vibrant and original theatre company. Moments of celebrations, crisis, and the desire for continuity are portrayed as they unfold.
Bobo Khuraijam is a close observer of human stories. He loves poetry and creative non-fiction. An independent filmmaker with more than seven years’ experience in film and television, he has worked with veteran filmmaker, A. Syam Sharma as assistant director, script writer and actor. He juggles his vocation between filmmaking and journalism. Writes extensibly for the Imphal Free Press, an Imphal based newspaper; he is with the editorial desk of the paper.
