Short
Film Festival is a pioneering film festival in Nepal that showcases
short films from Nepal and around the world. With 79 compelling and
distinctive stories from all over the world, Ekadeshma’s fourth edition
begins from today. This year, they tell tales about social struggles and
self-revelations, penned down by both student filmmakers and renowned
directors alike. The Week’s Reya Shreya Rai speaks to some of these
talented filmmakers on their ideas and what they have to offer.Sankalpa
is about a middle-aged man in a rural village. He’s someone who doesn’t
have a single female presence in his life; no mother, no wife, no sister
and so on. So, I’ve tried to portray the mental state of someone who
doesn’t have a woman in his life. I actually got the inspiration from a
guy in my village called Laxmi Prasad. It took a lot of patience for me
to witness the workings of his mind. I took note of his whereabouts,
habits, and behavior pattern, the way he interacted with people and so
on. This information, I carefully compiled into my film. So, basically
Sankalpa is about Laxmi Prasad.
