Written, produced, designed, and animated by filmmaker and Parsons professor Nina Paley, Sita Sings the Blues showcases visionary animation choreographed to the breathy jazz vocals of 1920s siren Annette Hanshaw. Recreating the story of the Ramayana, billed as "The Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told," Sita is a stunning accomplishment in film with a compelling backstory in modern film distribution. (Paley made and financed the movie herself, initially distributing it for free on her website, soliciting funds from fans.) Pay-per-view aside, Sita belongs on the big screen.
