ReelIn UK presents a theatrical showcase of shorts, featuring three bold, multiple award-winning short films that explore the emotional landscapes of modern India.
Anchoring the event is Harij Weds Sajili, a darkly satirical and emotionally charged film about a young bride who fakes her suicide, with the help of a sex worker, to escape a violent arranged marriage, executive produced by British Actor Nitin Ganatra and Oscar Winner Nani Sahra Walker.
Oscar Qualifying, The Golden Cage unfolds in a crumbling Kolkata mansion in 1989, where the last members of a once-affluent family grapple with the decision to sell their ancestral home.
Shera, directed by Arun Fulara, offers a tender counterpoint: in a remote Himalayan village, 11-year-old Monu fears he’ll never see the elusive leopard that haunts his dreams as his family prepares to migrate to the city. His best friend Raju sets out to give him one last glimpse, as a parting gift.
The screening will be followed by an in-depth Q&A and audience interaction with visiting filmmaker Prataya Saha, director of Harij Weds Sajili and The Golden Cage.
