[Tickets](https://pools.events/t/n0wn0i11/) *Twitterpated - *2002- TRT 25 min *Twitterpated* is an investigation of image, sound and the sensations of unrequited love through the form of a musical. It is a series of events articulated by thirteen nonprofessional performances, twelve American pop songs and eleven locations in and around Los Angeles. Each scene is built only on the essential elements of a musical: a person in a place singing a song. However, the simplicity of the structure often lends itself to peculiar and touching performances. *Okul Nodi-* 2014- TRT 52 min *Okul Nodi* is a contemplative documentary film about Bhatiyali, the river music of Bangladesh. Bhatiyali is the soulful music sung, as tradition has it, by the boatmen of Bangladesh. The poignancy of the lyrics often rests on dual meanings wherein boats become bodies, lovers are also lost gods, and river banks stand for cycles of life and death. All the while, the melody, with its tonal variations, carries the listener into the natural world by creating the sensation of drifting along the water. We spent months traversing the Brahmaputra-Ganges delta by boats, buses and rickshaws in search of boatmen, hoping to trace a history of this musical form and its relationship to the landscape. What we found instead was a passionate group of experts, the effects of modernization on folk traditions, and an open dialogue about what it means to be Bengali. Mirroring the complicated yet fleeting relationship between the songs and the landscape and by calling attention to the intrinsic qualities of the cinematic form itself, Okul Nodi explores a disjunction between expectation and experience. Tuni Chatterji is an artist, filmmaker and educator working primarily in archives and museums. Her films engage with phenomenons of the natural world through cinematic process and language. After receiving the Fulbright scholarship to Bangladesh, Tuni made her first feature length experimental documentary, *Okul Nodi,* exploring Bhatiyali, the boat songs of Bengal. Her films and installations have shown at film festivals, universities, museums, and art spaces internationally. Tuni received her BFA in Painting from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and her MFA in Filmmaking from CalArts. Add to calendar Google Calendar iCalendar Outlook 365 Outlook Live
