Ex Nihilo Nihil Fit
10.0

Ranju is a melancholic character. He resides in an old house with his elderly parents in a small town. It is as if the past memories of his ancestors lodged in his body. It is as if he were reincarnated. He finds it particularly difficult to sleep on rainy nights. On rainy nights memories of past lives awakes - his boyhood, his national past; his vision gets distorted, he couldn't help leaving the house. He seeks to escape from this troubled, hectic, suffocating modern world. He seeks peace on the paths, past memory ladened old walls, on the face of common people of this land, ancient trees. This journey is to absolve his burdened parents, to emancipate himself. It is a journey into the void.

Color, Nature & Poetry
N/A

'Nature, Color & Poetry' is a sensory immersion into the shifting rhythms of the Bengal landscape, where the interplay of light and color serves as the primary language of human existence. The documentary moves beyond mere observation, evolving into a poetic journey of transformation that traces the dawn-to-dusk cycle of an agricultural community deeply rooted in its environment. The film begins with the gentle awakening of the earth—the silver mist of morning and the golden emergence of the first ray. As the sun ascends, the visual palette transforms from the soft pastels of dew-laden pastures to the shimmering mercury of the river at noon. As a formal experiment in capturing time within space, the documentary utilizes layering the asynchronous sounds of daily activities over static, painting-like compositions. This technique invites the audience to experience lives and moments audibly while the visual remains suspended, creating a lyrical synthesis of man and nature.
