The Dark I Must Not Name
The Dark I Must Not Name is a visit to Bhopal, 15 years after the world's worst industrial accident ravaged the city. The film oscillates between cinéma vérité and stylized reconstruction of the director's interface with a city that lives on, even as it has been changed irrevocably by the tragedy. The underlying pain unfolds slowly as the camera records the city and its people. The film is constructed as a compilation of sketches and stories, each of which represents a different experience of the city. The attempt is one of evocation through layers of recorded sounds, spoken words and images. The Dark I Must Not Name is a filmmaker attempt at unravelling her relationship to a tragedy that is not directly her own.
