If one were to put it simply, the film is an engagement with the deepest human desire (need?) to find their roots, and to feel loved and a sense of belonging. Be it in the form of a forbidden romance that truly makes you feel like yourself, or seeking closure for a lost memory, to rekindle it to lead to a brighter future, the desire to find and nurture yourself is undeniable, even in the face of all adversity and obstacles, underlines the narrative. <br><br> By invoking two parallel plot lines, of the past and the present, and bringing to life two generations on screen, the film shares this story with the viewer in Tanisha Rai's notable voice. The thematic concerns are heard loudly and clearly for the audience to experience and participate in, allowing Baba's Black Sheep to become a wholesome, wonderful film, leaving the door open with promise of more such products by the team. The film, however, would have benefited from closer attention to its sound.

Baba's Black Sheep | Short Film of the Month

From the 50 Hour Filmmaking Challenge of the India Film Project comes yet another offering in the form of Digikal. The film is an easy narrative about the presence of technology in the lives of two generations. <br><br> The juxtaposition of the near-absence in one to the deeply entrenched roots in the other is done in an endearing manner. It is further backed by an upbeat, catchy score which makes the film an enjoyable watch. If there is endless wandering in the afternoon sun on the one hand, there is simply clicking a few times from the comfort of your home on the other. Short, sweet and relatable - that is perhaps how Digikal can be most aptly described.
