Ninasam is a cultural organisation that reverses the flow of cultural energy by delivering literature, theatre and cinema from all over the world to a rustic, rural audience. A critical engagement with Ninasam allows for a stimulating engagement with larger issues of cultural transaction and artistic production. It drives us to seek answers to crucial questions about the universality of art, the nature and process of its consumption and the relationship it has with the audience. A film on the making of a unique cultural trade.
