Short Film Screenings

An NCPA Presentation in collaboration with White Wall Screenings 

There are so many wonderful short films being made in India, with auteurs at work in their own regions, and bold, new voices who are experimenting with form and technique. Short Film Corner hopes to connect movie lovers with these films and open a dialogue with filmmakers, who in turn, get a chance to connect with their audiences.

Raviwar Sakal 
Marathi Film (30 mins) 

Raviwar Sakal is a story of a Sunday morning in Aditya’s life. What happens when pent-up feelings and a lifetime of wisdom intertwine? When the uncertainty of youth meets with the quiet assurance of the old? Is it serendipity or destiny?

Directed by Bansidhar Gopal Kinkar 

Pik
Marathi Film (16 mins) 

In a quaint Maharashtrian village, a seemingly innocuous journey to the city becomes the battleground for a petty conflict between Laxman (38) and Balasaheb (40) over a coveted window seat in a shared transport van. Laxman, a broker employed by a soybean seed company, and Balasaheb, a mill worker, find themselves at odds during the trip. 

Directed by Mangesh Shelke 

Laar
Hindi Film (20 mins)

A middle-class single mother tries to find a wife for her adult son with cognitive disabilities so his physical needs can be fulfilled in return for financial favours.  

Directed by Romil Modi 

Should I Kill Myself or Have a Cup of Coffee? 
English/Hindi Film (5 mins) 

When a young filmmaker meets a living film legend, Albert, for his Mumbai-based short film, Albert throws the script away and instead takes him on a journey around the city. Not to shoot but to capture the spirit of Bombay in a rum bottle. 

Directed by Vidar Joshi
