Sita Sings the Blues - Nina Paley
This winner of a Crystal Bear in Berlin and the Best Feature award of the Annecy Animation Festival, is a feast for the eyes.
The American animator Nina Paley mixes the ancient Hindu epic the Ramayana with a diverse selection of styles from all corners and time periods of Indian art with music from the jazz-icon Annette Henshaw and autobiographical scenes from her own life.
Sita is the wife of god/king Rama, who continually tests his virtuous wife because of his suspicious nature, while Nina takes a look at her own domestic trouble caused by her unreliable husband.
On Friday the 12th of September, Sita Sings the Blues will be screened in a Special Sneak Peak at the opening of KLIK! Amsterdam.
