Sita


Last night I watched "Sita sings the blues". It is a beautiful film. The animation and colors are excellent. The film is a very warm and lively interpretation of the Ramayana, told by three of its characters who sometimes are a bit confused about names and events and sometimes think they are confused when they try to tell this peculiar story.


It is very interesting that Nina Paley, the artist behind the film, decided to allow a free distribution, store and exhibition of the film and its characters; what she calls "free culture".

Visit www.sitasingstheblues.com to watch or download the movie
. At the web page you will find information about the making of the film, the calendar of comunity screenings around the world and you can also leave a donation for the artist to pay the debts she acquired on making the film.
