Locating the Storyteller in Silent Waters: Sabiha Sumar’s Cinematic Tale of Shared Histories and Divided Identities

In her multi award-winning feature film Silent Waters (2003), Pakistani woman filmmaker Sabiha Sumar connects the socio-political traumas of the Partition of India and creation of Pakistan (1947) with the onset of military dictator General Zia-ul-Haq’s Islamization period (1977-1988) in Pakistan. Presenting a story based on real-life events, the film focuses on the impact of religious fundamentalism and nationalism on women in particular. Examining Silent Waters as an example of “history on film/film on history” (Rosenstone 2013), and film as an “agent, product, and source of history”  (Ferro 1983), the discussion identifies and analyzes the filmmaker’s  own tacitly embedded location and participation in the filmic narrative as an experiential  ‘auto/bio-historiographer’, arguing for the value of this new paradigm in Cinema Studies.

在寂静的水中找到讲故事的人:萨比哈·苏马尔关于共同历史和分裂身份的电影故事

在她屡获殊荣的故事片 Silent Waters (2003) 中,巴基斯坦女电影制片人 Sabiha Sumar 将印度分治和创建巴基斯坦 (1947) 的社会政治创伤与军事独裁者 Zia-ul-Haq 将军的伊斯兰化联系起来期间(1977-1988)在巴基斯坦。这部电影讲述了一个基于现实生活事件的故事,特别关注宗教原教旨主义和民族主义对女性的影响。将寂静的水域视为“电影历史/电影历史”的一个例子(Rosenstone 2013),并将电影视为“历史的代理人、产品和来源”(Ferro 1983),讨论识别并分析了电影制作人自己默认嵌入作为一名经验丰富的“汽车/生物史学家”,定位和参与电影叙事,论证了电影研究中这种新范式的价值。
