A lyrical exploration of awakening to the feminine Divine - a screening at The New Parkway Theater in Oakland

You're Going to Die Presents:
Longing Suite, Nicolás Grandi & Lata Mani, HD, 30 mins, 2025

Longing Suite is a meditative, kaleidoscopic videopoem that traces the arc of a heart-mind-body awakening to the Feminine Divine and the sacred in all that exists. Grandi and Mani build on a cycle of poems written by Mani in the 1990s in context of an unexpected spiritual initiation following a head injury. The film draws aesthetic inspiration from the dynamics of the spiritual journey and offers an evocative visual and sensorial experience at once individual and universal.

“The textured weave of sound and image in Longing Suite leads us to a place that feels like spaciousness and intimacy all at once…. Nicolás Grandi and Lata Mani’s hauntingly powerful film is both sacred arc and sensorium; pilgrimage and homecoming.”

- Arundhathi Subramaniam, poet & author of The Gallery of Upside Down Women and Wild Women: Seekers, Protagonists and Goddesses in Sacred Indian Poetry
