SUMMARY:“Film Screening: Sama in the Forest” with Coralynn Davis
DESCRIPTION:\nFilm Screening: Sama in the Forest\n\nSama in the Forest d
elves into the subversive role women’s folktales can play in a patriarch
al society. The film is set in Madhubani\, a district in India’s state o
f Bihar\, where a rich cultural identity extends from the mythical past
into a globalized present. Maithil identity is passed on through its ren
owned painting tradition\, as well as through its lesser known wealth of
orally transmitted folktales. Women play a central role in both of thes
e expressions. In a creative collaboration with local community members\
, we highlight the tale of Sama\, a princess who wanders into the forest
and befriends a young man\, only to be slandered by a muckraking confid
ante of the king\, who is also Lord Krishna\, and subsequently cursed an
d banished by her father.\n\nFor more details: https://events.la.psu.edu
