Goat Fish Snake Sparrow
Synopsis
GOAT FISH SNAKE SPARROW is an ethnographic film that captures the migration stories, folklore, songs, and rituals associated with Koda, a nearly extinct language spoken by the Kora tribe in India. Through the socio-personal narrative of a young woman, the film explores themes such as love, aspiration, and decline. The Koda language lacks a written form and survives only through its dwindling speakers. Each death in the community, takes away at least seven Koda words, which will be lost forever.
