2nd Annual Calcutta International Short Film Festival 2021
Name of the Film: Parenthesis
Name of Director(s): Vasilios Papaioannu
Country: United States
Synopsis: "Parenthesis", a short impressionistic poem, liberates the inserted thought from its master. The film's mirrored beginning and ending render the inserted material, not as an explanation or afterthought but rather as the dominant point where the natural and civilized worlds claim their separate space before colliding, as the continual breathing of the sea becomes increasingly intense and urgent. Whatever may be going on in the outside world is kept at bay by the visual parentheses.

2nd Annual Calcutta International Short Film Festival 2021
Name of the Film: ; (Semicolon)
Name of Director(s): Pravah Khandekar
Country: India
Synopsis: Semicolon; to lessen the gap between this and after. The film dwells in a capricious interface between the self and the other. Suspended in an in-betweenness, a motley of interludes, a mirage of lived, imagined, and perceived reality, the film revels in the delirious derailment of the mind when confronted with illness and mortality, in the performance of the city of Varanasi. Traversing mnemonic scapes the character finds himself in an unapologetic spatial and temporal dance. Living his own death, he becomes both- a participant and an observer in the performance.
Moksha is an exit. In its pursuit, does the performance matter?
