About This Movie

Name, Place, Animal, Thing is a fascinating dive into the lives of Karnataka’s Hakki Pikki tribe. This documentary captures their unique way of life, exploring the intersection of culture and nature. The pacing feels almost meditative, allowing viewers to absorb the rhythms of their daily existence. What stands out is the vibrancy of the people and their oddly named customs—a real testament to their identity. The cinematography feels raw yet intimate, spotlighting both the beauty of their surroundings and the challenges they face. The performances, if you can call them that, are genuine, almost like you’re peeking into their world without a filter. There’s a certain authenticity here that’s hard to articulate, but it lingers with you long after it's over.
