Mercury Last Performance Singing Barcelona With Montserrat Cabelle |
| This short documentary explores the creative journey of Sooni
Taraporevala, best known as the screenwriter of Oscar-nominated
Salaam Bombay!, as well as of Mississippi Masala, and The Namesake,
and as the longtime collaborator of film director Mira Nair.
Visioning Home examines Taraporevala's evolution as a photographer,
screenwriter, and director. She has spent more than 20 years
documenting her own community, India's Parsi Zoroastrian religious
minority, which is thought to be on the brink of extinction,
and has consistently focused on themes of identity, displacement,
and home across the South Asian diaspora and beyond. Weaving
together Taraporevala's words with those of Mira Nair and other
colleagues and friends, Visioning Home illuminates how Taraporevala's
art is a resonant "medium for ordinary lives." |
