A Night of Prophecy is a simple film about poetry and witnessing the passage of time. Here, in this passage lie hidden answers, the seeds of what is to be and what is to be done. Through poetry emerges the possibility of understanding the past, the severities of conflict and the cycles of change. The film travels in the states of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Nagaland and Kashmir. Through complex territories of severe conflict, where throats are cut and minds are taught to absorb slavery, decades of fresh blood, oppression as powerful as mutation, pain beyond generations, where no reconciliation seems possible and yet … you can feel the fever of change. The different poetic narratives with their own symbols begin to merge together, allowing us to see a more universal language ofsymbols and meanings, one which may be valid for all beings. Through poetry, you suddenly see where each and every territory is heading towards, where you belong and where to intervene, if you want to. The different poetic narratives merge together, allowing us to see a more universal language of symbols and meanings. The moment when this merger in the mind takes place is the simple moment of prophecy. (DOK.fest München)
