The Bum Festival / Kunde
Synopsis
The film is a sensory exploration of an age-old, annual ritual called
the “Kunde Namme” (Bum Festival) practised by the Kuruba tribe of
the Kodagu region of Karnataka. In a country dictated by
conservative moral codes, the ritualistic festival discards perceptions
of ‘decent’ social conduct. It turns on its head conventional views of
sexuality and gender as the Kurubas become unselfconsciously
gender fluid and uninhibited, in a vivid celebration of obscenity
