Threads of Tradition is directed, produit, édité, written, and cinematographed by Eshaan Mani. In the village of Darasuram in South India, a tradition held by the locals for over 1000 years is on the line.
This short documentary follows the Arivu family, residing near the world-famous Airavatesvara Temple. For generations, they’ve worked as handloom weavers, creating and selling saris, a traditional women’s garment. Maintenant, the Arivu family faces numerous challenges: a lack of resources, rising automation, and the aftermath of COVID-19.
The film adeptly covers a lot in its short runtime. It was fascinating to witness the Arivu family’s handwoven garment-making process and understand why they persist despite their fears. Exploring Indian culture is always captivating, especially witnessing families like this one striving for their desires despite many obstacles.
je note ce film 4 de 5 étoiles.
