வித்து SEED (PG TBC)
A displaced traveller stumbles through a lonely landscape. In his search for water, his chance discovery of a mystical floating seed sends him first into the depths of despair, and then far beyond, to the seed’s source: a forest with lush shade and surprising hospitality. The journey’s end takes the form of a deep blue oasis – and whatever is waiting for him under the surface.
Featuring live music score by renowned composer and violinist Preetha Narayanan and performed live by Carnatic quartet Prathap Ramachandra (mridangam), Pavi Prathab (Veena), Mathangi Uthayakumar (Carnatic violin), Sambavi Uthayakumar (Carnatic violin and vocals), this thoughtful 2D hand-drawn animation creates a contemplative space to pause, reflect and reconnect. In an increasingly fractured world, வித்து SEED stands as a glowing symbol of hope, celebrating the power of storytelling, music, and imagination to bring people together.
Q&A
The film will be followed by a discussion between Jason Ramasami (illustrator/animator) and Preetha Narayanan (composer and violinist) and Yamana Jaman-Browne (SAA-uk HeadStart Trainee) will support as a moderator. Join us for an opportunity to gain insight into the incredible journey behind வித்து SEED as we dive into the roots of the animation, how the original soundtrack was composed and what collaboration across artforms can look like in today’s climate.
This performance is made possible thanks to the support of Arts Council England, The Leche Trust, and zerOclassikal.
வித்து SEED is a SAA-uk Original. Discover more of SAA-uk’s work at www.saa-uk.org
