Bye Bye Lullaby

Experimental Short

What do you keep and what do you leave behind when you are forced to leave your home? Using a single long take, Bye Bye Lullaby explores the meaning of belonging and belongings, transporting and being transported, passing away and passing down. Having grown up listening to stories about the partition of India and Pakistan from my mother, I began questioning the meaning and role of archives (both formal archives and the informal home-told oral histories) in shaping one’s idea of history and memory.
