Remembering Diana: An Open Letter to Abbas Kiarostami (2016)

Like an atom of forgiveness, the flag of Japan flutters in the wind. From little ants to the sun, moon and other wonders of the world, Japan represents hope for the future. A little Robot listening to music in the sea during a digital pilgrimage denotes the hard work and upgradation in technology that has made healing possible to the people after the war. The children of war are now grandmothers and they see spectacles of the same cycles repeated over and over again. Wh communication and expressions are tokens of digital technology, iPhones and robots have become integral part of lives, young or old as is nature. The grand daughters are living a lives in oblivion. Certain images stream through their level of consciousness and reality becomes an image juxtaposed on realism. Ah! And the grandmothers, meanwhile, the virtual moon drawn by a Chinese artist in the internet bridge the space between realism and surrealism. Eventually, grandmothers teach children how not to war. With poetry, Pasolini is still making a film on India and hunger. The film is a commentary about beauty of cry.
