“Good spirit of my Father Raghupathy who was a Tamil Language Professor, who could complete his PhD inCinema in the age of 46 just before he passed away must be somewhere around smiling”

“Beyond her filmmaking efforts, Manimekalai is bringing her artistic power and precision to the University of Toronto Mississauga. During the winter term of the 2024-2025 academic year, Manimekalai will be teaching three undergraduate courses in the visual studies department, where she is “interested in building non-vertical, non-hierarchical, and dialogically open classrooms to ultimately highlight the role of pleasure and enjoyment in both teaching and learning.””
Saracura, the film – is about protecting the indigenous communities who protect Amazon forest, the lungs of the Universe
Thank you each and every soul for generously supporting our participatory climate cinema with Quilombola communities in Afro Amazonia, Brazil. We are in the process of making the “proof of concept” and every dime of your donations is a precious gift to the film crew and the community who have put their heart and soul in this.
