SHIMMERING
2026
A quiet, windswept beach on the west coast of Wales becomes the stage for a multigenerational migratory story begun in Gujarat, India, told through movement, poetry, and sound. Hopes and prayers carried across generations take shape as a solitary female body finds new ways of being. The film captures a fragile yet enduring longing for both personal and cultural emancipation, freedom and a sense of coming of age.
My grand mother walked to the shore to cross the kala pani
leaving what little she had behind
hoping for an abundant life
carry the prayers of ancestors long past
of liberation
of unfurling
a flowing
a swirling
taking flight
Shimmering in the light
