What about Air?
Earth is the middle part of the Elements Trilogy, which also includes the films Fire and Water.
But there are four elements, Earth, Fire, Water and Air. So what happened to Air?

here is deepa mehta interview at cannes and same que was asked
Q: A Greek philosopher that lived in Sicily very close to where we are today thought about fire, water, earth and air – he first philosopher who said that that’s what the world is made of. Why are you so interested in these elements?
Deepa Mehta: The reason that I named these films is because these are the elements that nurture us, but yet, they have a capacity to destroy us. All films in the trilogy deal with resurrection and death.
Q: Violence is a recurring theme in your films.
Deepa Mehta: It’s obvious that I’m a female director. The trilogy has a lot do with women. Yet, the theme of “Fire” is the clash between traditions, and the desire of an independent voice. In “Water”, it’s the clash between blind faith or religion, and our conscience.
All my film deals with the desire for an independent thinking, and exploring the consequences of that.
Q: What are your plans for the future? Will there be an “Air” movie?
Deepa Mehta: No – there is something so stupid about a film called “Air”. I’ve just finished writing a script for a film called “Exclusion”. It is based on a historical event that happened in 1914 in Canada. It is about racism, and how the basis of racism is economics.
