Brair Kani (Cat's Attic)

by Nundrisha Wakhloo and Daksh Punj | 2023

Brair Kani explores an ancestral house located in Srinagar, Kashmir. Using the attic as a site of reflection, the film navigates the relationship between space, belonging and personal history. Inhabiting the confines of the attic, the house spirits exist simultaneously as carriers of collective memory

and as manifestations of the emotional landscape.

An overindulgence of a single sense, the sense of sight, weaponised by the state, has led to a psychological evolution, a coercion of worshipping images.
