Meghdoot - The Cloud Messenger
Ancient Jaivardhana
Uniforms, morning roll call, order, and discipline determine life at a prestigious boarding school somewhere in the Himalaya’s misty foothills. 16-year-old Jaivardhana isn’t thriving in this authoritarian environment. An opportunity for temporary respite from this strict regime presents itself, when a former teacher visits the school and offers interested students a photography workshop. During Mr Sapru’s inspiring lessons, the young people don’t learn about depth of field or shutter speed, but they do learn to open their senses and experience the world around them.

아마르의 환영
Camera Department Manager
데브라스는 포크 듀오 참킬라와 아마르조트에 관한 영화를 만들고자 펀자브에 도착한다. 1988년 메삼푸르 마을에서 그들은 분리주의자들에게 죽임을 당했다. 참킬라 동료들과의 만남은 계획과 다르게 흘러가고 데브라스의 여행은 설명할 수 없는 경험으로 가득 찬다. 그리고 관객은 누가 누구를 쫓는 건지 알 수 없게 된다. 굉장히 독특하고 등골 오싹한, 픽션과 모큐멘터리의 조합.
