"Maya"
2001
Directed by Digvijay Singh

Maya (Nitya Shetty) is a smart and energetic 12-year-old girl living in a small village in India, but her innocent childhood slams to a halt when she becomes the victim of an ancient and violent ritual marking her entrance into womanhood. Maya is an eye-opening portrayal of a world where tradition and progress are in constant conflict. "The photography is gorgeous [...] and with Singh's precise, discreet direction, Maya has a devastating impact" (Edward Guthman, San Francisco Chronicle). Hindi with English subtitles.  105 minutes.
