Deepa Mehta, In Profile
Top of page
Description
Deepa Mehta describes herself as a cultural hybrid. She
finds her passion and her stories in India and the freedom to choose how to
make her films in Canada. A woman
in a gold and maroon sari stands next to a window, looking out onto the chilly
blue light of a snowy Toronto landscape. The image (from the film Heaven on
Earth) dissolves to reveal Deepa’s profile as she talks about moving
between the two worlds of Canada and India. Produced by the National Film
Board of Canada in co-operation with the National Arts Centre and the Governor
General’s Performing Arts Awards Foundation on the occasion of the 2012
Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards.
