Lockdown Muse - Multimedia

During the lockdown, Marius Pibarot discovered that Fertile community was having money issues as they could not work and sell the timber that is its main revenue. Being a professional travelling musician, Marius decided to organise a fundraising concert. He found a way to train community singing including some sweet songs with the kids and also learning Tamil. The concert, which was live-streamed on Facebook and then added to YouTube, earned enough money to pay for 2 months of worker’s salaries. It’s a lovely taste of Fertile and forest life, enjoy.

“I look at Auroville through the eyes of Sri Kolari and I see it organize itself, commit itself, I see it resist, moving forward with will, and I can feel the creativity… I hope you can enjoy the reportage, but also enjoy the beauty of these images captured by Sri’s photographic lens, which portray the present moment in its simple but yet so powerful unfolding.”

Kino Kabaret is a worldwide film making challenge to produce a short film within a limited timeframe. During lockdown, a new Kino Kabaret took place in the bioregion, organised by the Kino Auroville group. All the participants received an email indicating the rules of the game: All films must had taken place within the home, contained two objects (a sticky tape and a pressure cooker), and had a duration between 30 secs and 6 mins long.

In four days, fourteen videos were scripted, shot, edited and uploaded to the Auroville Kino platform. Watch them here:

The lockdown didn’t stop these residents keeping their regular dance practice, and it even inspired them to share their movements with the rest of the community through social media.
