SAMA - MUSLIM MYSTIC MUSIC OF INDIA| 54mins
Director: Shazia Khan | Producer: Rajive Mehrotra (Managing trustee, PSBT)
Focus Years: 2013 | Country: India
Synopsis:
SAMA is the story of Indian Islamic music, born out of a union of Indian and Islamic traditions more than a thousand years ago. It explores the intermingling of these traditions, in both form and content, to become a truly magnificent sound.
SAMA takes a journey to many breathtaking locations across India and explores how this music organically blends to absorb cultures and flavours, yet retains its original texture. In doing so, the film explores the kaleidoscope of Islamic culture in India and the contacts and conflicts of Islamic India with indigenous elements, particularly those of Hinduism.
At the heart of the film is the Universal Spiritual Quest, asking and suggesting: What is it that we are seeking? and what does it mean to be free? How does the artist become one with the Creator, as he creates this Sufi/mystical music? Thus, it becomes both a story of the inspiration and the inspired.
Amongst the various endeavours that the film attempts to make is to refute arguments that Islamic culture has largely ceased to evolve beyond its formative years in the Middle East. Most importantly, we see that religious systems are neither self-contained nor static.
