A day with sounds

About

English title: A day with sounds. Hindi title: Ek din awaazon ke saath

In this film, Sheetal Bhujbal shares her experiences of sounds encountered during the course of a day in Mumbai. She attempts to follow the variety of sound patterns she hears from dawn to dusk, starting with the relative tranquility of early morning. As the day advances, the sounds pick up in pace and volume with the activities of the people on the streets.

Vacha is a resource organisation of Mumbai, which runs several centres for girls and women in the bastis (slums) of Santa Cruz and adjacent areas. In their 'Bole Kishori' (Girls speak out) project, they create opportunities for girls to express themselves through writing, drawing, photography, theatre and slideshow presentations, encouraging them to read and discuss issues critically.

This film came out of a training in video-making for the young women who facilitate this activity in local communities. The facilitators will now train the girls to tell their own stories through the medium of video. The training was designed and conducted by Comet Media Foundation (www.cometmedia.org).
