Our Family

Directors: Anjali Monteiro and K.P. Jayasankar
Release Year: 2007

Synopsis:
"Set in Tamil Nadu, Our Family brings together excerpts from Nirvanam, a one person performance by Pritham K. Chakravarthy and the family of three generations of transgendered female subjects, who are bound together by ties of adoption. They all belong to the transgendered community called Aravani."

"Aasha Baharathi, the grandmother, is the president of the Tamil Nadu Aranvanigal Association, Chennai. Seetha, the daughter and Dhana, the granddaughter live in Coimbatoire. Weaving together performance, life histories and everyday life, the film problematises the divides between 'us' and 'them'. The screening will be co-presented by members of the Roze Samosa group who will give context to the film."
