Shut Up Sona to screen at IFFM: I am humbled, says Sona Mohapatra
cancel

Mumbai: The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2021, has officially released its nominations for its annual awards presentation. In the documentary session, 'Shut Up Sona', directed by Deepti Gupta, is one of the films to be screened in the festival.

The documentary is a cinematic expression of the journey of singer Sona Mohapatra,in the music industry and as a performing artist where she has often been labelled as a 'troublemaker' for raising concerns that matter the most.

Talking about the film's screening at the IFFM, she said, "I am so elated to see that this year's IFFM has a considerable number of women filmmakers which is a great feat. I am so humbled and equally proud to see 'Shut Up Sona' among an incredible line-up of films. This documentary is my personal voice and journey with my sister-in-arms Deepti Gupta in the land of visual storytelling and I cannot wait for the audience to connect with it and my musical journey."

'Shut Up Sona' challenges the status quo and tackles the prejudices that run deep in the music industry in particular and Indian society in general .

The film shows a journey across the length and breadth of India's diverse landscape where Sona shares her musical roots and inspirations that range from folk, semi-classical to iconic artists, Mirabai to Amir Khusrau to modern-day influences that make her a rockstar playing to hundreds of thousands in her live concerts.

The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne is happening on the ground as well as virtually. The physical festival will take place between August 12 to 15.

Keeping the global pandemic and travel restrictions in mind, the festival organisers have also arranged a virtual edition of the festival between August 15 and 30.
