In 2011 i showed this video to Johnny uncle and
Juliet auntie they were so happy to see their own wedding video after years.
After 48 years with Dr. Rahamim's permission video
was edited with help of my friends Sarath Kottikal and Lemons Churchill.
Original Cochin Jewish wedding songs and traditional Kerala instrumental music
were used to give life back to this video.
When the edited video was screened as a part of myexhibition elders from the community started singing the songs along with
video, the person who operated the video paused the video en route, Sarah Cohen
and others continued singing the song. The scene went so emotional for them...
and it was really emotional...
