Draft:The Legacy from Beyond

About
The Legacy from Beyond is a 2023 short documentary film, directed by Harsh Raj Gond. It offers an insightful exploration of Gond art and depicts the lives and struggles of Gond artists who are passionately keeping the Gond art form alive even today. Residing in Patangarh village, Dindori district, Madhya Pradesh, India, they carry forward this art legacy left by the legendary Gond tribal artist Late Shri Jangarh Singh Shyam.

Plot
Jangarh Singh Shyam was a legend who started the Gond art. Even though he is no longer with us today, his family members are continuing this art. His legacy has inspired the entire Patangarh village, where everyone is now painting to make a name for themselves and carry forward this art legacy. However, painting is not an easy task because, in today's time, it is difficult to earn a living from it. Due to this, these individuals also engage in activities like farming, agriculture, and labor work while passionately creating and selling Gond art.
