Deepa Mehta is a Canadian-based filmmaker originally from India. Her film trilogy Fire, Earth, and Water is controversial in India. Because Fire delved into taboo relations between two women, Hindu extremists burned down theaters. Filming for Water, which chronicles the lives of Hindu widows in the 1930s, was shut down for years after mobs ransacked sets. Deepa Mehta’s film Water opens Friday, May 5, 2006, at Pipers Alley in Chicago and Century CinéArts 6 in Evanston.
Deepa Mehta’s daughter, Devyani Saltzman, discusses Water and her book Shooting Water: A Memoir of Second Chances, Family, and Filmmaking at the Women and Children First bookstore Tuesday, May 9, 2006 at 7:30 pm. |
