Portraying a certain moment and feeling, we are continually experiencing during the course of the day … actually, what we wanted to name this work is: ‘Untitled’ in order to emphasize its superciliousness nature to being ‘open-to-meaning’, and yet, I have the need, I have the want, I have a strong desire to avoid confusion about its unique identity.
I think this dilemma sums up the core feeling of the film.
Director’s bio:
In his last semester, and pursuing a ‘Masters’ in Film & Media at The New School, in New York City, and enjoying his last semester, Pundit; a pseudonym held by Harshal Alurkar (born and bred in India) was immediately attracted towards the entire process of staging a play or making a film. And so he started producing and editing, and slowly imagining the kind of films he would like to make. As a result of his background in software engineering, Harshal is interested in formal experiments and technological extensions to film like VR or installations, making layered video works that are strongly philosophical in nature.
