Film screening | Six Days of Love
Eyes of Stone (1990) is the story of Shanta, a young girl living in a village in Rajasthan, caught in oppressive societal codes. She is only temporarily excused from life as a mother and wife while possessed by a mysterious apparition, the “dakan”. A powerful eruption of physical, spiritual, linguistic and emotional excess – the film presents Shanta’s possession as a turbulent recasting of the self and the world. Are the possessed truly possessed? Is the apparition always lurking around the corner? Is exorcism healing?
