SUN AND MOON AND THE GOD OF RAIN

IS THE FIRST PART OF A DOCUMENTARY FILM PROJECT I AM CARRYING OUT ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT. SINCE 1997 I SPEND A FEW MONTHS IN INDIA EVERY YEAR. IT OFTEN FEELS LIKE A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME, TO A PLACE WHERE LIFE UNRAVELS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND THE "CONTEMPORARY" WORLD INCLUDES OTHER ERAS. IN RURAL AREAS WHERE LIFE IS VERY SIMPLE THE BODY IS THE MAIN INSTRUMENT: PEOPLE WALK ON FOOT, THEY CARRY WATER, LEAVES AND WOOD ON THEIR HEADS, THEY MAKE EVERYTHING BY HAND OR WITH HANDMADE TOOLS...
