From the film’s synopsis: Every year in India, on occasions of religious festivals, political elections and even banal events like politicians’ birthdays – vast numbers of posters go up in public places. These posters look absurdly identical – a splatter of primary colors, mugshots of devotees or politicians, and messaging devoted to the festival Gods or wishing their seniors a happy birthday. Now, in the midst of the pandemic and its restrictions, and with the major religious festival of Lord Ganesha approaching, I gained access and worked with a group of three laundry-workers in my neighborhood in Mumbai; their laundrymen’s association regularly created and featured themselves in these posters. interviewed them and filmed their process of creating the poster, also capturing the muted celebration of the festival.
