There are few films which are able to weave a voiceover delicately into the drama on screen, and A Song
From The Ceiling is one of those. The film is like a beautiful, soft, unintrusive song from the ceiling of
your bedroom; a space so intimate to your being. A young boy is contemplating killing himself, and he is
“saved by the Universe”. A delightful montage ensues which reminds him of the most wonderful,
precious moments of his life. It reminds him of the bonds of friendship he possesses, about all that he
has and all that he risks to lose. 
The footage is raw, which makes its so much more endearing, not only as a contrast with the dark
present he currently inhabits, but also because that is the nature of memories. Our moments are not
sanitised or serialised. It is the music that uplifts the film.

Kush | Short Film Nominee

The short narrative is a young man's musing on time. As he engages with the nature, passage and the forever forward moving course of life that is defined by it, he shares his thoughts with the viewer using a first person narrative. Sitting by himself in a canteen, he observes people from afar and speculates their relationship with time and its effects on them. In the process, Thinking Aloud comes into being and is presented to the audience to engage with.
