Rafik wasn’t looking for trouble—but trouble wore red and called herself Kansha. She'd killed once, maybe twice, and kissed like a confession. Now he's tangled in sheets and blood, caught between what he wants and what he fears she’s already done. The guilt burns slow—like a cigarette he can't finish.

She married for love, thinking it would be enough—a language louder than the one she left behind. But in this apartment of locked drawers and quiet dinners, that love has soured into routine. The city pulses outside, concrete and uncaring, while inside, she folds herself into habits, careful not to break what’s already cracked. Some nights, even the mirror doesn’t understand her accent.

'Arabian Nights' is a contemplative short that interrogates storytelling itself: how legends are born, and what shadows lurk in their telling. A writer in search of creativity enters a museum and brushes against narratives beyond the conventional—stories that twist memory, myth, and power into uneasy truths. Minimal dialogue, visual poetry, and a meta-reflection on creation blend in a haunting exploration of how history - and imagination - can betray us.

She doesn’t know borders. Only hunger, silence, and the sound of her name, never spoken right. In court, men argue over her belonging. They call her a threat, a mistake, a Bangladeshi. But all she has is a face, a faith, and nowhere to go. Some trials aren’t about truth. They’re about erasure.

They called him 'Ghumya'—the silent one—not because he had nothing to say, but because the world had already decided he wouldn’t be heard. In every nod, every lowered gaze, there was a history of humiliation carried like second skin. His silence wasn't emptiness—it was resistance, coiled and quiet. In a world where caste speaks louder than truth, Ghumya becomes both a name and a sentence.

'Shimga' is a minimalist meditation on labor, erasure, and everyday survival. Set in a city that runs on quiet exploitation, the film centers on a woman whose work, picking discarded coconuts, goes unnoticed until the remnants vanish. With sparse dialogue and an unflinching gaze, the film turns the viewer toward the margins, where lives flicker quietly and are just as quietly forgotten.
