How is a teenager supposed to deal with an arranged marriage? How does one resolve the conflict of a displaced life after years of nomadic existence abroad? In Remembrance of Things Present, the filmmaker, now living in Canada, returns to Bangalore to confront her parents with the former question, while she herself tries to resolve the latter. Long-divorced and newly remarried, she records some profoundly touching conversations with her parents–while also finding her past being repeated in the life of her parents' household help.
India, 2007, directed by Chandra Siddan; 81 minutes.

The Traveling Film South Asia Festival, a three-day film festival, is composed of 13 documentaries covering such diverse topics as politics, art, culture, globalization, natural disasters, environment, gender, urbanization, labor relations, the Partition, entertainment and history and features films from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Sponsored by International Programs, Asian Studies and the I.D.E.A. Space.
