I am thrilled to announce that my animated sci-fi short film ”Departure” was selected for the Official Screening at the Bengaluru International Short Film Festival (BISFF) 2024. Although it didn’t win an award, being part of this internationally recognized event is a significant honor.
BISFF is an Oscar-qualifying festival that brings together creative minds from around the world, offering a platform for filmmakers to showcase their work and engage with industry experts. It’s a place where emerging voices can be heard, and new ideas can flourish.
This recognition further motivates me to continue exploring new storytelling techniques and pushing the boundaries of animation and experimental film. I sincerely thank the BISFF team for the opportunity and for supporting filmmakers like myself.
