dc.description.abstractKite/காத்தாடி is a hybrid film in which Leena turns the lens on herself, become the text, and decodes her search for radical love that can unchain her from the bondage of the past. She improvises to hear the sound of her own voice clearer, to get out of the binary logic of phallocentrism, to wage a solitary struggle against the silencing of her desires, to explore her sexuality and to decolonize her existence. The film weaves episodes from her life where she turn to poetry, dance, movement theater, painting and documentary, battling various emotions from rage to violent delights in order to attempt a poetic approach to gendered trauma, bringing with her both her excitement and trepidation.
