WHERE
IS THERE ROOM?
(United States, 2002) Dir./Scr.: Sonali Gulati, Byron Karabatsos,
Antonio Paez
WHERE IS THERE ROOM? retells an Indian woman's journey to find relief
after her mother's death. The film blurs the boundries between fiction
and documentary to convey a mood of loss and longing; it relies
on conventional narrative structure to tell the story of a woman
coming to terms with the death of her mother, and more on the abstract
relationship between images and sounds. Rather than juxtapose images
and scenes that represent a certain reality, WHERE IS MY ROOM? uses
the environment, landscapes, light and sounds to convey the feelings
and emotions of its main character.
