Summary:
Ce film documentaire narre l'histoire d'Angu, ou Angie, une réfugiée tibétaine en Inde qui vit sur le fil du rasoir dans le quartier de Majnu Ka Tilla de New Delhi. Aux marges économiques et sociales de la diaspora tibétaine en Inde, à la lisière du quartier, le long d'une rivière : La Yamuna. Angu vit maritalement avec un Kenyan, père de son enfant en marge de la société indienne et tibétaine. Elle cumule des seuils d'exils. C'est à travers les images animées que l'on tentera d'explorer les différents seuils. Le film tourné en 2013, explore les espaces interstitiels de la communauté tibétaine et ses franchissements dans une approche spatio-imagétique de la diaspora. Le film interroge la notion de mixité telle que théorisée par Homi Bhabha (2007). Les images explorent le métissage et les allants de soi sur les rôles masculins et féminins au sein de la diaspora tibétaine. Mais il traite de racisme et de maltraitance maternelle.
This documentary film tells the story of Angu, or Angie, a Tibetan refugee in India who lives on a knife edge in the Majnu Ka Tilla district of New Delhi. On the economic and social margins of the Tibetan diaspora in India, on the edge of the district, along a river: the Yamuna. Angu lives with a Kenyan man, the father of her child, on the margins of Indian and Tibetan society. She accumulates exile thresholds. It is through animated images that we will try to explore the different thresholds. The film, shot in 2013, explores the interstitial spaces of the Tibetan community and its crossings in a spatio-imaging approach to the diaspora. The film questions the notion of diversity as theorized by Homi Bhabha (2007). The images explore miscegenation and assumptions about male and female roles within the Tibetan diaspora. But it also deals with racism and maternal abuse.
