| 6 | Documentary about the Marathi theatre and |
| 7 | screen actress Kamalabai Gokhale who also |
| 8 | played the lead in Phalke’s Mohini Bhasmasur |
| 9 | (1914). Based on interviews with the |
| 10 | octogenarian in her Pune flat and with several |
| 11 | clips from Phalke films, Mohan captures some |
| 12 | revealing moments with complex cinematic |
| 13 | reverberations: e.g. Kamalabai informally reenacts |
| 14 | roles she played in the 20s and, at the |
| 15 | end of the film, she suddenly realises that the |
| 16 | camera has been filming her all that time. Made |
| 17 | over a three-year period, the film chronicles |
| 18 | changing seasons and times of day with a |
| 19 | finely tuned soundtrack and innovative |
| 20 | camerawork. |
