Kankantri (The Silk Cotton Tree) : In this  film , a woman is transported to the parallel universe of all her different ancestors where she dances and takes part in rituals until she feels whole.

Yatra: Yatra, a transcended journey inwards, is an avant-garde short film inspired by the philosophy “Atman is Brahman”, written in the Hindu Upanishads. It is an exploration of consciousness, femininity,and the interconnectedness of the human experience. The film explores a sense of belonging in the reflection of one’s own reality. The characters are guided by their sensory awareness as they experience moments of calm, chaos, and aloofness in the city, at the trance party (Brahman), and in nature. The film also celebrates the feminine with its all-female cast.

Delusional Decays: In a world on the edge of geopolitical chaos and widespread discrimination, this experiment audio-visual piece delves into the psyche of those yearning to escape the harsh grip of reality. It explores deep-seated conscious and subconscious thoughts accumulated since childhood, expressed through evocative body movements that mirror our inner turmoil and desire for balance. This film serves as both a reflection and a rebellion.

I am PAPER: There is a ton of waste all around us. Scattered somewhere, sometimes lying around in the corner, sometimes fluttering in the middle of the road. Without a purpose, without an identity. This is a story of a piece of paper floating around in the city aimlessly, in the end becoming a part of a heap on the beach, just until someone rescues it, recycles it, gives it a purpose.
