Four tales of girls’ coming of age - through the trajectories of aspiration, curiosity, flamboyance and desire - are juxtaposed with testimonies of adult women on familial violence. The fictional tales and the documentary testimonies overlap, complement each other and then create a line of legacy of FEAR. The normalized and habitual moments in the daily lives of the women weave together a formidable web of fear. This omnipresent female fear then accompanies the young girls into the womanhood of vulnerability.
Memories of Fear was directed by Madhusree Dutta.
Memories of Fear runs for 57min, and was released in 1995.
