Many Months in Mirya is an anonymous researcher’s diary, in video. Drawing from auto-ethnography, the film records the time of a village over three seasons in 2015 India.
Telling stories of characters and forces in the village, natural and human-made, historical and present, the film draws its power from frugal economy and long duration.
The film is the winner of the 2017 John Abraham National Award for Best Documentary, Kerala, India.
Organised by Ash Devasundaram.
