www.femCineCult-kerala : a feminist cinema culture project launched in 2001 at the Department of Media Studies, Trier University, Germany

An empirical research ...

- into the representation of ‘femininity’ in the regional Malayalam cinema (Kerala, South India) and marginalised women’s experience of Self

… grew into a creative reflection and a video filmmaking process

controlled by these women who started to transform a paralysing state of marginalisation into ‘moving’ utopian visions and views …

This mental, emotional and physical mobilisation of Marginal Women’s creative energies

(srishti)

noticeably contrasts the rigidity, emotional indifferentism and social immobility which rule Kerala’s mainstream society.
