Jama Masjid Street Journal (Mira Nair)
18m
Directed by Mira Nair • Documentary • 1979 • 20 minutes
Mira Nair's (Monsoon Wedding, Salaam Bombay!) personal record of street life around the Jama Masjid, or Great Mosque, in the old city of Delhi, India.
Director Nair discusses her thoughts on confronting people uncertain what to make of her, a woman alone behind a camera, as she captures the flavor of "ordinary" Delhi, where ancient customs and traditional occupations continue to be practiced in the midst of a large and complex city.
