Filmmakers Anand Gandhi and Zain Memon are forging a modern mythology with their project ‘MAYA’. The work reimagines well-known figures from South Asian lore, grounding them in the principles of evolutionary science. This innovative approach aims to provide fresh perspectives on ancient beings and their relevance today. Gandhi and Memon believe constructing new mythologies is crucial for navigating an increasingly uncertain future. ‘MAYA’ seeks to offer frameworks for understanding complex challenges through a culturally resonant lens. The project suggests that reimagining traditional stories with scientific understanding can provide meaning and guidance in a rapidly changing world, offering a unique blend of heritage and forward-thinking exploration.
