There are a lot of different interpretations of what a 'silent crime' can be. While pandemic still continues to rage around the world, Bandra Film Festival, a digital film festival presented by Filmkaravan in collaboration with YouTube is all set to stream some really poignantly introspective drama movies based on silent crimes. Crimes which we see happening in our daily lives, some which we ignore to speak against or worse still stay mute allowing it to happen. The posters of the films were unveiled recently on BFF's social media and we can't wait to watch them.
The festival's next lineup of films themed 'Silent Crime' opening with 'Vanaja' a gem from the past, is a spirited drama film in telugu directed by Rajnesh Domalpalli, dealing with a young girl trying to find her self-worth in the midst of a repressive caste system and physical abuse. 'Tipu' directed by Mihir Lath is a short heartwrenching drama about a 6-year-old transgender kid Tipu who is sent away to live amidst the transgender community against his own will by his own family, all the time thinking he has been abducted by witches and finally, 'Crash' a docu fictional film directed by Rajdip Ray takes a look on the impact of road accident on the people, their apathy, calculated concerns & emotions in the locality where the accident takes place.
Speaking about the thematic line up, Namrata Grewal from Marketing & Communication at BFF said, “'Silent Crime' is an interesting term, because it's not a cut and dry genre to define, like, say, 'comedy' or 'horror.' That means there are crimes going on that are not acknowledged, ignored or worse still hushed by society's apathy. This is a genre which will keep the audiences hooked to their screens. BFF programmed this new thematic line up 'Silent Crime' so that our audiences can continue to have the opportunity to watch a wide range of films from the comfort of their homes and in coming days more movies will be added on BFF's platform.
