Det våde ler, røgen fra den varme ovn og hænderne, der blødt omformer den roterende materie til krukker, amforaer og mytologiske dyreskikkelser. ‘The Mind of Clay’ er den indiske mesterinstruktør Mani Kauls hovedværk og en æstetisk undersøgelse af indisk mytologi, mentalhistorie og filosofi anskuet gennem traditionel pottemagerkunst; en poetisk refleksion over jorden som moder og kilde til både liv og kunst.

"Jeg ville kende pottemagerens anstrengelser gennem min egen anstrengelser som filmskaber", sagde Mani Kaul efter at være hjemvendt fra de mange strabadserende ugers feltoptagelser i det nordlige Indien. Vi mener, at Kauls anstrengelser gav pote: Aldrig er leret blevet besunget så dybtfølt, rørende og sanseligt.

Filmen introduceres af den danske forfatter og billedkunstner Amalie Smith (f. 1985) og er en del af programmet ‘Trivial Matters’, der undersøger arkitektoniske materialers æstetik, politik og metafysik.
