‘Sweven’, a narrative marked less by verbal exchanges and more by visual drama, is a story of a man’s interactions with dreams and nightmares. As sleep bleeds into waking life, the film comes into existence. It is marked by notable pacing and a smooth edit that allows it to put forth its intentions in an unmissable manner. <br><br> 

Additionally, a sense of suspense, violence and the overwhelming unknown are roped in to enhance the story, while also keeping the viewer engaged throughout. It would be interesting to see the short film expanded into a longer narrative, with the current project simply serving as a premise, taking us deeper into the protagonist's disconcerting reality. 



Sweven | Short Film Nominee

The film opens in an arbitrary universe of unrelated things and characters, complete with surreal images of open fields and unlikely sheepherders. The circuitous path eventually takes us to the protagonist, Yaduk, who has a thing or two to say about intellect and mediocrity. <br><br>
In the process, the film makes an unequivocal comment about the burden of awareness. It presents a thought in a distinct style, drawing inspiration from drama-comedies of a similar suit, but roping in its own individual voice to portray it all. The narrative establishes a premise, and shares its views on intellect and its relationship with lesser pursuits; it is a welcome prospect to see a longer exploration of the same storytelling style. It would allow future projects to surpass their existing potential.
