Bandra Film Festival (BFF), a digital film festival presented by Filmkaravan in collaboration with YouTube is currently streaming four poignantly introspective drama shorts on its platform. These shorts are based on day-to-day life experiences that invoke ideas of identity and the self and being showcased under the theme ‘Introspect’ on the BFF YouTube Channel.
‘Introspect’ opens with a psychological drama ‘Ek Anchaha Mehman’, which is about the protagonist Vijay Mhatre and his life. Directed by Netra Venkateshwaran, the film stars Siddharth Badve. Second in the queue is ‘The Saint’ directed by Nyay Bhushan. It is about the moments spent with the wise, where the protagonist takes a memorable journey that goes beyond time.
Directed by Nyay Bhushan again, the third film in the line-up is titled ‘Stuck in Inner Traffic’, a poetic rendition of traffic in a short-film based on the concept of ‘filmaiku’ – where film meets haiku, the Japanese art of meditative poetry. It is shot entirely in the immersive Himalayan foothills yet inspired by the contrarian cityscape dotted with traffic.
The last film in the Introspect quartet is a high-impact short ‘Lone’, directed by Samarth Shandilya. A gripping film that takes us inside the mind of a schizophrenic person starring Samarth Shandilya and Parina Chopra.
Bhushan, who is also an award-winning art photographer, said, “Introspection has become the core of our lives since last year. This unprecedented situation has left humanity no option but to try and seek answers within themselves. I hope these films can unveil new perspectives in helping us discover a deeper meaning to the mysteries of life.”
