Rainbow Cinema (Market Square)
Tickets $10
Director Meghna Haldar in attendance.
"What is it about feeling dirty that shames us into silence and disgust?" asks director Meghna Haldar in the feature documentary Dirt. From the slums of Kolkata to Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to a barbecue joint in Central Texas – everyone has a different story. Dirt isn't just a four-letter word; it contains a world of meaning spanning the divine to the profane. A quixotic odyssey into all things unclean, featuring animation to make Hieronymus Bosch blush, tracks from Godspeed You! Black Emperor and an experimental soundscape by Clinker, Dirt digs deep to illuminate the positively filthy experience of being human.
Meghna Haldar is a writer-filmmaker based in Vancouver. Her award-winning short films have played at venues in Canada, the U.S. and India. She is interested in the human struggle for dignity and inclusion, ideas that are not respectable, and cooking. Dirt is her first feature documentary film.
Haldar will also be participating on the Director’s Panel Discussion: Women In Film, Women In Story also on Friday, March 27 from 12:30-2pm at the Hotel Novotel.
