May 23, 2005Sita Sings The Blues
If you do nothing else today, watch these little quicktime clips below. If you get a little more time, read the FAQ section. Nina Paley is one of my alltime favorite comickers from waaaay back when I lived in Santa Cruz in the 1980's. I am so overjoyed at seeing her unmistakable stylings come through in these animations (watch for the wicked closing credit animations, they're really amazing.)
A new twist on an old myth by Nina Paley
The Ramayana is as familiar to Indians as the story of Adam and Eve is to Westerners. Both folktale and spiritual myth, there is no one authoritative version; it is retold in countless different and evolving interpretations. From poems and plays to comic books, movies, and novels, there are almost as many versions of the Ramayana as there are Indians.
