Up Down & Sideways

Stories of love, stories of the field, stories of song, stories in song. Α musical portrait of a community of rice cultivators in a village close to the India-Myanmar border, and their memories of love and loss, created from working together on the fields. It is the first feature film from the u-ra-mi-li project (meaning “the song of our people”), a larger body of work that looks at the connections between music and labor, and the human need to transform the mundane into poetry.
