Experiencing Interruptions?

Arena

A man struggles to find the meaning of his existence. He is an outsider to the nature and people around. He cannot convince himself to commit to an ideology or belief, and therefore unable to proceed to execution of task in hand with due readiness of body and mind. He sets for an exploration with a dialog that eventually shapes the way forward. A journey through the conflict of nature, human self and collective identities, the film attempts to discover the underlying pattern of hegemony inherently associated with an ideology defining human existence.

Director Biography - Partha Sarathi Raha

As a filmmaker, I have directed “Arena”, a short film, as my first directorial venture in Sep’24 and I further look forward for completing the upcoming short films in pipeline. I have worked as cinematographer, editor & executive production manager in a few short films under “Mindpersec” - a small group formed by a few of us creatively aligned. Before filmmaking, I have been mostly engaged in Film criticism, publications and other art forms, while keeping the dream of filmmaking awake. Apart from my involvement in making films, I am also tech-savvy and make my living as a software professional.
