A Half-Finished Film

By Sauvik Pandit with 6.4

experimental · Short Films · bengali

Somewhere between light and dark, memory and remembrance, and nightmares and dreams, lies a space which is undefined and uncertain. It is marked by a constant tussle between doubts and surety, truth and illusion, and it is in this territory that the film locates itself. It becomes a story of a man's attempts to make sense of his reality which is oscillating between wakefulness and unconsciousness.

Staying consistent with its approach, even the manner in which the story unfolds is like that of a documentary, but one which exists within the fictive space. The film exhibits a desire to engage with a complex subject, drawing in ideas of surrealism and the dubious nature of what we deem to be our reality. The execution of the story is marked by a near-complete absence of a background score which could have perhaps been altered with the presence of some more music to add an extra layer to the story.
