Sleep Of Trees, प ड क न द (2021) dir. Shivam Kaushik

Traditionally Rajasthani folktales are mostly based around deserted landscapes, where a boy, man makes a voyage across distant lands(videsh) in a hope of fortunes while in such folktales the females either wait for his return or he establishes himself in the distant lands. Practically, Jaipur being a capital city is different from such landscapes. Jaipur comparatively is more green and its cityscapes have touched NewDelhis modernity sooner than any other cities within Rajasthan. The film documents the city landscapes and experiments it with creating a folklore, where to sleep properly men make pact with the moon to turn their women into trees.
