Dear All
Due to various circumstances, we've had to change one of the film's in today's Vikalp screening.

The screening will take place as scheduled at the Alliance Francaise today at 7 pm. However, instead of Subasri Krishnan's This or That Particular Person, we will be showing Amudhan RP's Shit/Pee. We will keep you informed about Subasri's film.


ABOUT THE FILM
SHIT/PEE

English (subtitled), 25 min, 2003, India

A street along a temple wall in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. There are piles and piles of shit all along the street. A woman carrying a bin comes and starts covering these piles with ash. It helps to reduce the stench. Then she sweeps it all up, shovels it into the bin and carries it on her head to the corporation truck. Her name is Mariammal and she does this everyday of her life.

While taking us through a day in the life of a sanitary worker, the film raises critical questions about caste, the working conditions of the workers and the indifference of the Municipal Corporation, and above all, the complete lack of civic sense amongst the people who knowing that someone else will clean it up, continue to shit on the street rather than use the toilets that have been provided a short distance away.
