Shunya

existential questions like these are explored in what can only be described as refined art in the film "Shunya." Directed by Vidar Joshi, this film is truly a labor of love, not only to the art form but also to the beautiful tale of death and a journey to understand it. The story follows a curious little girl and folk art Bhavai performers who are on tour with their performance of the sage Narada Muni asking Krishna the same existential question, which he describes as necessary for his quest for knowledge. "Shunya" excels in its screenplay and as one of the most technically proficient films in the indie space. Each shot is meticulously framed, and color adds richness to the story. The 4:3 aspect ratio is used as an aesthetic choice and a storytelling tool. It portrays the helplessness of the little girl searching for her grandmother and centralizes the focus on the 'truth' in this world of Maya. We hope that it reaches to your nearest screen soon.
