Aunty Sudha Aunty Radha (49 min; 2020)
Directed by Tanuja Chandra

A Documentary about a Filmmaker’s aunts, in the spring of their lives 
Three hours outside India's capital is a village called Lahra. This film follows two widowed sisters, aged 86 and 93, who have retired to this village, and whose days are spent with their adopted family of domestic help. The sisters do as they please, pay heed to no one and don’t bother with unsolicited advice. They don’t let their ailments unsettle them much and remain largely unfearful of death.

And yet, from this light-heartedness, emerge lessons. Of courage and perseverance, of camaraderie and care-giving, of destiny and faith, and the most significant one: when we engage in conversations of death, we improve the quality of life.

The film will be followed by a virtual chat with the director, Tanuja Chandra and producer, Anupama Mandloi (online)
