Scribbles on Akka is a short film on the life and work of  the 12th  century saint poet, Mahadevi Akka. Her radical poems, written with  the  female body  as a metaphor,  have been composed and picturised in contemporary musical language.
 

Mahadevi, famed as  Akka – elder sister,  while leaving the domestic arena in search of  God, also abandoned modesty and clothing. The film explores the  meaning of this denial through the work of contem­porary artists and writers and testimonies of ordinary folks who nurtured her image through centuries in their folklores and oral literature.
 

A celebration of rebellion, feminity and  legacy down nine hundred years.
