Indonesia.2007.57 min. MiniDV/DVD. Colour. Stereo
It started as a behind the scene project as a part of Chants Of Lotus publicity material. CHANTS OF LOTUS is a unique production as it is an anthology film inspired by the problems of Indonesian women.
However, the journey of the behind the scenes got to a point where the anthology itself faced more and more challenges, especially from the Indonesian censorship board. Closely following Nia Dinata, the producer and one of the director of the anthology, the documentary evolved from a regular behind the scene footages to a documentary that reflects the fate of Chants of lotus, its women creators, and the fate of Indonesian marginalized women in general.
