If From Every Tongue it Drips




If From Every Tongue it Drips is a film  that explores questions of distance and proximity, identity and otherness, through scenes from the daily interactions between two queer women
- a poet and a cameraperson.

Created between three locations: Montreal, Batticaloa and the Isle of Skye, and connected through languages – Urdu, Tamil & English, personal and national histories, music and dance, and the gaze of the camera lens, they explore subjects both expansively cosmic and intimately close—from quantum superposition to the links between British
colonialism and Indian nationalism.
