When the Gods Came Down to Earth is a stunning video work at the crossroads of ancient myth-making and modern technologies. Filmmaker and artist Srinivas Krishna has drawn on the stories he learnt as a child in India, of Gods and Goddesses, humans and demons, and the populist imagery known as 'Calendar art.'  Using classical dancers and luscious visual effects his work brings to life some of the most iconic images of Indian mythology.
