During the 82nd edition of Venice International Film Festival we spoke with director Anuparna Roy for the film “Songs of the Forgotten Trees”, presented in Venice 82 in the Orizzonti section. This is the first work of an indian female director that tells, with delicate and sweet sensibility, the story of two housemates in modern Mumbai, struggling daily with a male-centered indian society that is still entangled in attitudes and behaviours that are really difficult to change.


The interview


During our interview with FRED Film Radio, our guest Anuparna Roy expressed her thoughts on how the contemporary indian society needs to change towards a more stable equality, balancing the chaos of the cities and the intimacy of peoples’ desires. In a story that was mainly self-produced, and that expresses a big urgency from a female artist and director that have a powerful voice to listen to.
