Pranami Koch

India – 2024

26m19 – v.o.e., Koch & Assamaise, s.t.e.

A diary film to rebuild the severed connection between myself and my identity as an indigenous Koch woman. The film serves as an excuse to construct my lost identity, which now remains at a distance, perforated with nostalgia and an imagined sense of belonging. Without any visual memory of my grandmother, whom I never met, I am searching for her through the stories of my father, as well as the women of the community, a matrilineal society in the remote northeastern borderland of India.
